MEASUREMENT 
UNITS OF BYTE 
Yottabyte, zettabyte, exabyte, 
petabyte, terabyte, gigabyte, 
megabyte, kilobyte, byte, 
hectobyte, decabyte, decibyte, 
octabyte, milibyte, microbyte, 
nanobyte, picobyte, femtobyte, 
attobyte, zeptobyte & yoctobyte.
YOTTABYTE & ZETTABYTE 
• ZETTABYTE: 
• 1000 exabytes equals one 
zettabyte. 
• One zettabyte is a unit of 
storage whose symbol is the 
ZB, equivalent to 10^ 21 
bytes. 
• For the computer are often 
confused with 2^70 which is 
called zebibyte. 
• YOTTABYTE: 
• One yottabyte is a 
storage unit whose 
symbol is YB, equal to 
10^24 bytes. 
• There is some 
confusion with respect 
to this measure 
(10^24 bytes) and 
2^80 bytes
EXABYTE & PETABYTE 
• PETABYTE: 
• A petabyte is a unit of 
storage whose symbol is 
the PB, and equal to 
10^15 bytes = 
1,000,000,000,000,000 
bytes. Prefix peta comes 
from Greek, meaning 
five, equivalent to 1000^5 
or 10^15. 
• EXABYTE: 
• 1000 petabytes equals 
one exabyte. 
• An exabyte is a unit of 
measurement of 
information storage EB 
whose symbol is the 
equivalent to 10^18 
bytes.
TERABYTE & GIGABYTE 
• TERABYTE: 
• a terabyte is a unit of 
storage whose symbol is 
the TB, and is equivalent 
to December 10 bytes.in 
computing is often 
confused with 2^40, but it 
is an error because the 
value is called tebibyte. 
• 1 tb = 10^3 gb = 10^6 mb = 10^9 kb = 10^12 bytes 
• GIGABYTE: 
• A gigabyte is a unit of 
storage whose symbol is 
the GB, equivalent to 109 
(billion) bytes. Often 
confused with 230 bytes. 
The term comes from the 
Greek meaning giant.
MEGABYTE & KILOBYTE 
• MEGABYTE: 
• is a multiple of the 
unit byte for digital 
information. Its symbol is MB. 
The unit prefix mega is a 
multiplier of 1000000 (10^6) 
in theInternational System of 
Units (SI).Therefore one 
megabyte is one million bytes 
of information. 
• KILOBYTE: 
• a kilobyte is a storage 
unit whose symbol is 
equivalent to 10^3 kb 
and bytes, although the 
Greek prefix kilo means 
thousand, the term 
kilobyte and symbol kb 
have been used 
historically.
BYTE & HECTOBYTE 
• HECTOBYTE: 
• Hecto or hecta is a unit 
prefix in the metric system 
denoting a factor of one 
hundred., hekaton, 
meaning hundred. Its unit 
symbol in the International 
System of Units (SI) is the 
lower case letter h. 
• BYTE: 
• 1 byte is equivalent to 
byte (i.e. eight bits) to 
right ends, a byte must 
be considered as a 
sequence of contiguous 
bits, whose size 
depends on the code 
information and the 
character code that is 
defined.
DECABYTE & DECIBYTE 
• DECABYTE: 
• Deca (symbol da) is a 
prefix in the metric 
system denoting a factor 
of 10¹ to 10. 
• For example: 
• decameter = 10 meters 
• DECIBYTE: 
• Deci (symbol d) is a 
prefix in the system 
denoting a factor of 
10^-1 (1/10).
CENTIBYTE & MILIBYTE 
• CENTIBYTE: 
• Centi (symbol c) is a 
prefix in the International 
System indicating a 
factor 10^-2 or 1/100. 
• MILIBYTE: 
• Mili (symbol m) is a prefix 
in the system denoting a 
factor of 10^-3 or 1/1 
000 Adopted in 1795, 
derives from the Latin 
word mille "thousand" 
(his plural milia).
MICROBYTE & NANOBYTE 
• MICROBYTE: 
• The word Micro is a 
prefix in the International 
System indicating a 
factor of 10 ^-6. 
• Aside always 
represented with the 
specific sign (μ ), which 
comes from the Greek 
word (mikrós) and it 
means 'small'. 
• NANOBYTE: 
• Nano (symbol n) is a 
prefix in the system 
denoting a factor of 
10^-9. 
• Confirmed in 1960, 
comes from Greek, 
meaning "dwarf".
PICOBYTE & FEMTOBYTE 
• PICOBYTE: 
• Pico (symbol p) is a 
prefix in the system 
denoting a factor of 
10^-12. 
• It comes from the Italian 
word piccolo, meaning 
"small". 
• FEMTOBYTE: 
• Femto (symbol f) is a 
prefix in the system 
denoting a factor of 
10^-15. 
• The origin of this prefix is 
femten Danish word that 
means 'fifteen'.
ATTOBYTE & ZEPTOBYTE 
• ATTOBYTE: 
• Atto (a1 symbol) is a 
prefix in the International 
System indicating a 
factor 10^-18. The origin 
of this prefix is the 
Danish word atten, 
meaning "eighteen". 
ZEPTOBYTE: 
• Zepto (symbol z) is a 
prefix in the International 
System indicating a 
factor 10^-21. 
• Adopted in 1991, comes 
from the Latin septem, 
meaning "seven", as it is 
equal to 1/1000^7.
YOCTOBYTE 
• YOCTOBYTE: 
• Yocto (symbol y) is a prefix in the International 
System indicating a factor 10^-24. 
• Adopted in 1991, comes from Greek, meaning 
eight, because it is equal to 1/1000^8. 
• Is the smallest unit of information used in 
computers.
