Hello,
A bit (b) is a binary digit; it can take 2 values: we refer to it as on or off (boolean)! In computing, by convention, it is represented as 0 and 1. The bit is used to measure the speed of an internet connection!
A byte (B) is equivalent to an octet (o); it is a basic group of 8 (2^3). The octet is the unit we use to indicate the size of a file. 1 octet consists of 8 bits! The byte is just the English version of our traditional octet!
So:
1 Gb =/= 1 Go!
On the other hand:
1 GB = 1 Go
Moreover, this causes confusion between the speeds advertised by ISPs and the actual speeds ...
Edit of 01/05/2011:
If you bought a 640Go hard drive and Windows shows you 600Go, it’s normal: this is the issue that arose in the early days of computing when it was decided that 1024 bytes is 1 kilobyte, whereas it is actually 1000 bytes that make up 1kB. The megabyte will always be 1000 times the kilobyte, regardless of the quantity: weight, power ...
The error has been made and followed by most publishers until it was decided that we would operate in multiples of 1000 even in computing, no longer by 1024.
So the Go is no longer 1024 Mo but 1000 Mo
To replace the old values, the binary prefix was introduced, meaning we replace the "kilo" prefix with "kibi," thus: Kibi, Mebi, Gibi ...
And that replaces the old multiples of the octet:
1 Gio = 1024 Mio
In short, Windows, which is widely used, preferred to ignore these recommendations and continues to use the wrong multiples of the octet (fear of consequences?). So it necessarily shows you less.
Finally, as we used to say: 1GB is often encoded on 8 bits, so we often say that 1GB = 1Go; it's not a formality, but it will often be the case.
And since 1 octet is encoded on 8 bits, then 1 bit = 1 octet/8 in terms of information quantity.
Luck helps sometimes, work always!
You have to be an idiot for a non-idiot to want to play the fool!

In computing, it is conventionally represented by 0 and 1
If it's binary, then 0 and 1 are not a convention, but a fact...
The bit is used to measure the speed of an internet connection!
No, the bit is used to encode information.
A byte (B) is equivalent to an octet (o); it is an elementary group of base 8 (2^3).
An octet is not a grouping in base 8, but a grouping of 8 bits; in English, the term byte is used because most computers work with data encoded on 8 bits (but other codings exist that are not 8 bits). The exact term is 'word' (word, in English), of 8 bits or n bits, in English: n-bits-word.
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte#Confusions_entre_byte_et_octet
Moreover, this leads to confusion between the speeds announced by ISPs and the real speeds
The ISP does not mislead us about bytes-bits-octets, but about its calculation method; most announce speeds that correspond to a network layer called ATM, which is far from an 'usable' speed for the subscriber.

This is called a boolean, we depict it with 0s and 1s, but it would work with apples and pears ;)
No, the bit is used to encode information.
Yes, but the unit used to calculate the bandwidth of a connection is indeed the bit since the useful data is in binary... logical, you might say :)

The megabits announced by ISPs are in bits since we exchange bits, however, browsers display download speed in kB per second, hence in Bytes, and some do not understand that these two data are different...
In computing, we encode in 8 bits which makes the byte nothing but an octet, but it is true that this is not a general truth...

No, a boolean, in the algebraic sense, is a variable that can take two values: true or false.
In computer science, the science of comparison and testing par excellence, this true-false can be represented by a binary value (which has only two states, easy to represent with transistors).
Yes, but the unit used to calculate the speed of a connection is indeed the bit since the useful data is in binary... logical, you might say :)
A speed, like a velocity, is the combination of two elements: a quantity and a time: kilometers per hour, cubic meters per second, bits per second...
So, a bit by itself cannot define a speed.
The megabits announced by ISPs are in bits since we exchange bits; however, browsers display the download speed in kB per second, so in bytes, and therefore some do not understand that these two data are different...
The speed displayed by a downloading software cannot be directly correlated with the possible speed of the line, too many parameters come into play: bandwidth sharing, traffic control bits...
In computer science, we code in 8 bits, which makes the byte nothing other than an octet, but it is true that it is not a general truth...
We usually code in 8 bits, but try looking into networking, you’ll find many bytes of 9 bits.

Well, that's what I'm telling you ^^ The machine will see these 0s and 1s in the form of a boolean. So 0 and 1 are indeed a convention and not a fact!

You started by saying: we are talking about all or nothing (boolean)
I indicated to you what a boolean is, it is not all or nothing, it is true-false...
The 0 and 1 are not a convention, since it is binary (two possible states), the convention is to say 0 = no current and 1 = presence of current, for example.

Hello Laurene,
Your question is a bit like: how many monkeys can climb a tree with 3 branches? It depends on the size of the monkeys...
Look at the manual for your camera, as it depends on several parameters: resolution and photo quality in particular:
for example:
a photo at 5 million pixels, with average compression (10), takes up about 1.5MB, so you can fit 1000/1.5= 660 photos on a 1GB card.

between 0 and infinity.
That question doesn't make sense; it depends on so many parameters!
Regarding 'DivX', we make sure they fit into 700MB (or 0.7GB) in order to have the maximum quality on a disc. But this concerns a minority of films and even a minority of 'DivX'.

Hello,
I am going to buy a camera that has an internal memory of 15 MB
How many photos can we store on it?
Thank you in advance!

Hello Clara,
we need to know the number of pixels of your device, as well as the quality you have chosen for your photos, to answer you precisely
read messages 6 and 10 to get an idea
If your camera is 5 Megapixels, you should be able to store about 10 photos on this 15 MB memory, which is very little, and I advise you to buy a memory card of at least 1 GB

good evening fio,
laurene only gave me the size of her card, without telling me the resolution and quality of her photos, you give me the resolution of the photos, but I don't know either the quality or the size of the memory card...
You'll need to check your camera manual, it's written there;
generally, a photo of 8 megapixels takes up 2.5 MB at maximum quality, so on a 1 GB card, you can fit about 1000/2.5 = 400 photos (the exact number depends on the manufacturer's settings)

Hello, I would like to know how many songs I can put on a 16GB iPod Touch?
I'm hesitating between the 16GB and the 32GB.
But the price difference is quite significant.
Thanks in advance.

J'ai un doute, mon disque dur fait en tout 74,5 Go et j'ai seulement 36,5 Go d'espace disponible.
Je voudrais enregistrer le jeu GTA SAN ANDREAS qui fait 6,1 Mo, mais je ne suis pas très doué en maths. Combien me faut-il pour pouvoir enregistrer le jeu ? J'y comprends rien aux Mo, Go, etc.
Réponds le plus vite possible, merci d'avance.

Hello, I wanted to say that at FNAC, I found a 2GB SD memory card that is actually a micro SD card (for mobile) + an adapter (that is, a larger card with a slot to insert the micro one) which makes it a Mini SD card + an adapter (same principle) to have a full-sized card, so an SD CARD (for camera)! I bought it for €10.90 or something like that! I sincerely regret not having bought two! But check out stores or online to find deals like that! I say deals because the card I bought is no longer available, so it was just a deal! Good luck!
Je veux acheter un appareil photo numérique entre 100 et 150 euros. J'aimerais bien savoir de combien de pixels j'ai besoin pour avoir de bonnes photos ? Car je suis peintre décorateur et j'ai besoin de prendre des photos pour les garder dans mon catalogue. Merci.
Hello,
we take very good photos with a 5 Megapixel, today many devices offer more, 6 to 12 Megapixels
with optical zoom x 3, I recommend a Fuji, because they have very little noise, like this one, an 8 Megapixel:

Bonjour à tous, je voudrais savoir combien de gigaoctets exploitables il y a dans un iPod touch de 32 Go, car je sais que sur le marché, 1 Go n'est pas égal à 1 Go, donc il y a des pertes, mais je ne connais pas les valeurs exactes. Merci.
Hello everyone,
I received a 2 GB SD card, is that a lot? Also, how many movies exactly can you put on it? Songs? Images?
If you don't feel like telling me, just tell me the number per unit please, that would still be nice ^^.
Thank you for your answers.

Yoan is right, we need to pay attention to uppercase and lowercase letters, the meaning is not the same:
in English, as Yoan says, 1 GB is one gigabyte, gigaoctet in French
1 Gb is one gigabit, in French too, so it is 8 times less than 1 GB (one byte = 8 bits)
