A Byte consists of 8-bits. A byte is in many systems the basic unit of data that can be accessed or transferred. In some literature a byte is called Octet. Consisting of 8 bits, a byte can represent 2⁸ = 256 different values, ranging from 0 ... 255. The value of a byte can be conveniently shown in hex, with values ranging from 0 ... FF.
