The only difference between the two is that a byte is 8 times larger than a bit.Ī bit is the smallest possible amount of data in a binary computing system - practically all computers, laptops, phones, smartphones, robots, cars, etc. Difference between Bits and Bytesīoth the bit and the byte are data units used for measuring data storage capacity and transmission capacity (bandwidth).


There were attempts to use 10-bit "bytes", but they did not receive adoption. The term "byte" was first used to describe an 8-bit block in a 1956 paper by Werner Buchholz and went into widespread usage ever since, serving as the basis for other units such as the KiloByte, MegaByte, GigaByte and so on.
