    When b is 2, the unit is the shannon, equal to the information content of one "bit". A system with 8 possible states, for example, can store up to log 2 8 = 3 bits of information. Other units that have been named include: Base b = 3 the unit is called "trit", and is equal to log 2 3 (≈ 1.585) bits. [3] Base b = 10

  4. Byte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte

    Definition of prefixes using powers of 10—in which 1 kilobyte (symbol kB) is defined to equal 1,000 bytes—is recommended by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). [28] The IEC standard defines eight such multiples, up to 1 yottabyte (YB), equal to 1000 8 bytes. [29]

  5. Orders of magnitude (length) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(length)

    The millimetre (SI symbol: mm) is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10 −3 metres (⁠ 1 / 1 000 ⁠ m = 0.001 m). To help compare different orders of magnitude, this section lists lengths between 10 −3 m and 10 −2 m (1 mm and 1 cm). 1.0 mm – 1/1,000 of a meter; 1.0 mm – 0.03937 inches or 5/127 (exactly)

  6. Kilobyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilobyte

    The term 'kilobyte' has traditionally been used to refer to 1024 bytes (2 10 B). [5] [6] [7] The usage of the metric prefix kilo for binary multiples arose as a convenience, because 1024 is approximately 1000.

  7. Yottabyte (disambiguation) - Wikipedia

    A yottabyte (YB) is 1000 8 bytes. Yottabyte may also refer to: Yottabyte, 1024 8 bytes, also called "yobibyte" (YiB) Yottabyte (song), a song by Martin Garrix;

  9. Metric prefix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_prefix

    1 km 2 means one square kilometre, or the area of a square of 1000 m by 1000 m. In other words, an area of 1 000 000 square metres and not 1000 square metres. 2 Mm 3 means two cubic megametres, or the volume of two cubes of 1 000 000 m by 1 000 000 m by 1 000 000 m, i.e. 2 × 10 18 m 3, and not 2 000 000 cubic metres (2 × 10 6 m 3).
