The different measurement units and their relationship for microcomputer speed are as follows: 1,000 Hz = 1 Kilo Hertz (103 Hz)
1,000 KHz = 1 Mega Hertz (106 Hz)
1,000 MHz= 1 Giga Hertz (109 Hz)
1,000 GHz= 1 Tera Hertz (1012 Hz)

Measuring units of computer
storage are: Memory is measured in bytes. A byte is combination of 8 bits and represents one character, a letter
or symbol.
