About Bit (b)

The bit, its symbol b (lowercase b), is a unit of measurement used in the binary system to store or transmit data, such as Internet connection speed or the quality scale of an audio or video recording.

A bit is generally represented with two values, 0 or 1, although it can also be interpreted with other values like yes/no, true/false, plus/minus, etc. It is said that 8 bits make 1 byte.

A bit is one of the fundamental units used in computer technology, information technology, digital communication, as well as for storing, processing, and transmitting various types of data.

Note: Do not confuse Bit with Byte, (8 Bits = 1 Byte).

About Kilobit (kb)

The kilobit, its symbol kb, is a unit of measurement that is equivalent to 1,000 bits. It is commonly used to measure data transmission speeds or storage capacity in computer and communication systems.

A kilobit is one of the first units of measurement used to describe file sizes or transfer speeds and is a fraction of the megabit (1,000 kilobits = 1 megabit).
