'Nibble' in computer terminology is also called ______.1. Half bit2. Byte3. Bit4. Half byte

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : Half byte

The correct answer is Half Byte.

  • Nibble is also known as half-byte or tetrade and has sixteen possible values represented by a hex digit.
  • It is used to state the memory consumption to store a digit in packed decimal format within an IBM mainframe to enhance the computation and the process of debugging.

Unit Conversion Table:

  • 4 bit = 1 Nibble
  • 8 bit = 1 byte
  • 1 KB (kilobyte) = 1024 byte
  • 1 MB (megabyte) = 1024 KB
  • 1 GB (gigabyte) = 1024 MB
  • 1 TB (terabyte) = 1024 GB
  • 1 PB (petabyte) = 1024 TB
  • 1 XB (Exabyte) = 1024 PB
  • 1 ZB (zettabyte) = 1024 XB
  • 1 YB (yottabyte) = 1024 ZB

  • Decimal value of 10 in 8-bit byte system = 00001010 = 0 × 20 + 1 × 21 + 0 × 22 + 1 × 23 + 0 × 24 + 0 × 25 + 0 × 26 + 0 × 27 = 2 + 8 = 10
  • Decimal value of 10 in 4-bit nibble system = 1010

  • In data communication, Nibble is known as Quadbits.
  • The smallest unit of information which can be stored is called as Bit.
  • A single bit can only hold 1 or 0.
