Definition of Terms

Mensuration is a process of measuring and determining the value, length, width,

thickness, weight, and area of a surface or an object.

Calculation is also a deliberating process that transforms and calculate one or more
inputs into results and to determine mathematical in terms of numbers and
amount.

Bit is the smallest unit of data in a computer. A bit has a single binary
value, either 0 or 1
Byte A basic unit for storing computer information, used for
measuring the size of a document. A byte is usually made up
of eight bits. The written abbreviation is B.
The amount of information that can be stored on a computer or
Capacity
on a CD or floppy disk.

 What is It

TYPES OF COMPONENTS AND OBJECTS TO BE MEASURED

1 Memory
The term memory identifies data
storage that comes in the form of
chips, and the word storage is
used for memory that exists on
tapes or disks.

2 Data storage capacity

Storage capacity refers to how much disk space one or more storage
devices provides. It measures how much data a computer system may
contain. For an example, a computer with a 500GB hard drive has a
storage capacity of 500 gigabytes. A network server with four
1TB drives, has a storage capacity of 4 terabytes.

3 Processor
A processor is an integrated electronic
circuit that performs the calculations that
run a computer. A processor performs
arithmetical, logical, input/output (I/O)
and other basic instructions that are
passed from an operating system (OS).
Most other processes are dependent on
the operations of a processor.

4. Video card
A video card is used to process images so they can be displayed on your
monitor. A good video card can make a big difference in the quality of
your graphics, so this is particularly important if you play games or work
with photography and video.

DIGITAL REPRESENTATION

Within a computer, information is represented and stored in a digital binary

format. The term bit is an abbreviation of binary digit and represents the smallest piece
of data.

Humans interpret words and pictures; computers interpret only patterns of bits.
A bit can have only two possible values, a one digit (1) or a zero digit (0).

A bit can be used to represent the state of something that has two states. For
example, a light switch can be either On or Off; in binary representation, these states
would correspond to 1 and 0, respectively.

Computers use binary codes to represent and interpret letters, numbers and
special characters with bits. A commonly used code is the American standard Code
for Information Interchange (ASCII). With ASCII, each character is represented by a
string of bits.

For example:
Capital letter: A = 01000001
Number: 9 = 00001001
Special character: # = 00100011

Each group of eight bits, such as the representations of letters and numbers, is
known as a byte. Codes can be used to represent almost any type of information
digitally: computer data, graphics, photos, voice, video, and music.

CONVERT DECIMAL NUMBERS TO BINARY

Binary Numbers
• The column heading for binary are:

9
 To convert a decimal number to binary, all you have to do is divide the number
by 2. Get the quotient and the remainder. Bring down the quotient, divide it by 2, and
get the quotient and remainder again. Do it repeatedly until the quotient results to 0.
Copy the remainder from bottom to top, and that is the binary equivalent.

Example 1: 25 Example 2: 160

Quotient Remainder
25/2 12 1
12/2 6 0
6/2 3 0
3/2 1 1
1/2 0 1
25 = 1 1 0 0 1

Checking: 1 1 0 0 1 multiplier
16 8 4 2 1 equivalents
16 8 0 0 1 results
16+8+1 = 25

CALCULATING DATA STORAGE

While a bit is the smallest representation of data, the most basic unit of digital
storage is the byte. A byte is 8 bits and is the smallest unit of measure (UOM) used to

27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20
128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1
represent data storage capacity. When referring to storage space, we use the terms
bytes (B), kilobytes (KB), megabytes (MB), gigabytes (GB), and terabytes (TB).

10
 One kilobyte is a little more than one thousand bytes, specifically 1,024. A
megabyte represents more than a million bytes or 1,048,576. A gigabyte is
1,073,741,824 bytes. A terabyte is 1,099,511,627,776. The exact number is gained by
taking 2^n power.

In general, when something is represented digitally, the greater the detail, the
greater the number of bits needed to represent it. A low-resolution picture from a digital
camera will use around 360KB, and a high-resolution picture could use 2 MB or more.

Kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes, and terabytes are typically used to measure

the size or storage capacity of a device. Examples of components and devices that
use byte storage include: random access memory (RAM), hard disk drive space, CDs,
DVDs, and MP3 players.

CDs have a data storage capacity of approximately 700 MB. DVDs have a data
storage capacity of approximately 4.3 GB on a single-layer disc, and approximately
8.5 GB on a dual-layer disc. BDs have a storage capacity of 25 GB on a single-layer
disc, and 50 GB on a dual-layer disc.

Once we know the size of a file or folder, it is possible to determine the number
of bytes being used.

For example:
A file is 20 KB in size
1 KB = 1,024 Bytes
20 * 1,024 = 20,480 bytes in a 20 KB file

If a 20 KB file is stored in a 1 MB folder (1 MB = 1,048,576 bytes of space);

then approximately a total of 51 files can be stored in that folder (1,048,576 / 20,480
= 51.2).

Let’s do some exercises
1. If a flash drive has 8 Gigabytes capacity, how does it represent in Megabytes?
