Bit and byte

 Each digit in the binary number is a Bit

 In binary numbers, there are 4 bits (1101)
 Binary Digit
 The Bit can only store one or two values for example 0 33 22 1

 Thus, the computer grouped eight bits together to form a Byte

 Each byte contains 8 digits
The language of Numbers

 Numbers are not given names in binary
