Show transcript
Binary digits, or bits, are the smallest unit of data in computing. They can only be a 0 or 1.
Bits are used to represent information, such as letters, numbers or colours, using just 0s and 1s.
You can measure the size of binary data by counting how many bits it contains.
The more bits you have available, the more information you can store or represent.
