Byte.
Eight bits . A byte is simply a chunk of 8 ones
and zeros. For example: 01000001 is a byte. A computer often works with
chunks of bits rather than individual bits and the smallest chunk of bits
that a computer usually works with is a byte. A byte is equal to one
column in a file written in
character format . Most data files distributed by ICPSR are in character
format.
