five bytes = 5.0 bytes = 5B

bits = b [small b]
kilobits = kb
bytes = B [cap B]
kilobytes = KB
megabytes = MB
gigabytes = GB
terrabytes = TB

1B = 1 byte = 8 bits [b]
1KB = 1 kilobyte = 8 kilobits [kb]
1 MB = 1megabytes = 8,192 kilobits [kb]
1 GB = gigabytes = 8,388,608 kilobits [kb

when you write them out - no caps
when you abbreviate - caps [except for bits]

that make sense?

No JW, I want some context to this query.

"1..2..4..8.." Who do we appreciate? Ra.Ra Ra.

Never knew cheerleaders understood binary.

And my college graduation project was to make a max/min digital thermometer 25 yrs ago (in the days they were the size of shoe boxes) and I had to make it 5 bit x 2. I could have killed my tutor for guiding me down that path.
I did learn some nifty Boolean logic though.

There are 10 kinds of people in the world, those that understand binary numbers and those that don't.

If they did then it would be "10, 100, 110, 1000, Who do we appreciate?"
