Question: what are the differences between bit byte and word?
Answer: Bits can be combined together, usually in powers of two, ie, 8 bits, 16 bits, 32 bits, 64 bits which represent numbers, either integers or floating point. ... A byte is part of a word, that is a 32 bit or 64 bit word can be broken up in 4 or 8 bytes, so each byte would be 8 bits of information.
