Orders of magnitude (data)

The order of magnitude of data may be specified in strictly standards-conformant units of information and multiples of the bit and byte with decimal scaling, or using historically common usages of a few multiplier prefixes in a binary interpretation which has been common in computing until new binary prefixes were defined in the 1990s. == Units of measure == The byte has been a commonly used unit of measure for much of the information age to refer to a number of bits.
