26 = 64
The four binary units are bit (binary digit), nibble (4 bits), byte (8 bits), and word (usually 16, 32, or 64 bits depending on the computer architecture).
7 bits can show all 128 possible arrangements of 'yes' and 'no'. 6 bits can show only 64 possibilities.
The largest possible value using 8 bits in binary is actually quite simple. Binary is a numerical system that only uses 2 numbers (1 and 0) to determine value. Our system is decimal. (0-9) Now, a 'bit' is one number from the binary system. It can either be 1 or 0. So, 8 bits means using 8 digits in binary. 1 is greater than 0, so the largest value is 11111111. (8 'one's)
Yes, they are considered bits (of data).
it's because it's 8 bits in binary system, 2^8 = 256 combinations from 0 to 255

Each bit allows 21 combinations. Accordingly, n number of bits provide 2n combinations.Therefore, 5 bits provide 25 = 32 combinations. # 00001 # 00010 # 00011 # 00100 # 00101 # 00110 # 00111 # ...
7 bits can show all 128 possible arrangements of 'yes' and 'no'. 6 bits can show only 64 possibilities.

Binary is easier for the computer to understand. It is also easier to handle and is not costly.
Binary: 1 bit Octal: 3 bits Hexadecimal: 4 bits Decimal: somewhere between 3 and 4 bits. In theory, about 3.32 bits.
Binary bits are necessary to represent 748 different numbers in the sense that binary bits are represented in digital wave form. Binary bits also have an exponent of one.
