Understanding Data Measurement Units (1)

The document explains various data measurement units, starting from the smallest unit, the bit, to larger units like terabytes. It describes how bits form bytes, and how kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes, and terabytes are used to measure file sizes and storage capacities. Each unit is defined with its approximate byte equivalent and typical applications in computing.
