2^8=16*16=256.............

8 bits handel binary numbers 0 thru 255 (no sine)

2^10=4*256=1024 (1k)

if 2^8 is equal to 255bits then how 2^10 is equal to 1024bytes?

2^8 = 255bits

 2^10 = 1024bits why it is bytes?

There is some confusion here/above, about bits and bytes.

A bit is a binary digit and has the value 0 or 1. A byte is 8 bits i.e. a binary number comprising 8 bits

2^8 is a decimal value and is equal to 256 (a decimal number)

N.B. a byte of 8 bits ranges in value from 000 000 to 1111 1111 (as binary numbers) and equals 0 to 255 decimal.

2^10 = (2^8)*(2^2) = 256*4 = 1024 (a decimal number)
