"Byte" is defined as 8 bits.

[Note, in certain historical computers, 1 byte = 9 bits. However, these computers haven't been manufactured in decades, so all current references to byte should be read as 8 bits]

How many binary digits make one byte?

The byte is the smallest sized information that a computer works on, for example to do math or to write text. Originally computers used bytes that were 8 binary digits (bits) but the larger the byte the more can be done with each computer step computer, so soon there were 16-bit, 32-bit and 64-bit etc. computers. So the size of the byte depends on the computer, and are getting larger all the time.
