How many zeros in a nanobyte?

Answer 1

We would have to say that there's no such thing as a nanobyte.

A "byte" is defined as a word or number composed of 8 bits. A "bit" is defined as the

quantum of information, that is, the smallest possible unit of it, which can't be divided

down into anything smaller.

So we'd have to say that the smallest possible fraction of a byte is 1/8th of it.

Once you cut up a byte into 8 pieces, you can't cut them any smaller. So there's

certainly no such thing as a billionth of a byte. (That's what 'nano' means.)
