A byte can be an eight digit b number. On some computing applications, bytes can be other sizes. Not every 8 digit b number is called a byte because byte refers to a computing context.

What is the name of the eighth bit in a byte?

The eighth bit in a byte is commonly referred to as the "most significant bit" (MSB) when considering the byte's role in representing values. In binary representation, the MSB is the leftmost bit and determines the sign of the number in signed binary formats. In contexts where the byte is used for character encoding, it may also be called the "high bit."


What makes up a byte of memory?

What needs to be undestood is that all data is represented by numbers in binary form.

A byte is each digit of a binary number?

A byte is not each digit of a binary number, but rather a unit of digital information that typically consists of 8 bits. Each bit is a binary digit, representing a value of either 0 or 1. Therefore, a byte can represent 256 different values (from 0 to 255) when considering all combinations of its 8 bits.
