'''Yotta''' is the largest [[decimal]] [[Unit of measurement|unit]] prefix in the [[metric system]], denoting a factor of  [[Orders_of_magnitude (numbers)#1024|10²⁴]] or {{gaps|1|000|000|000|000|000|000|000|000}}; that is, one million million million million, or one septillion. It has the unit symbol '''Y'''. The prefix name is derived from the [[Ancient Greek]] {{lang|grc|οκτώ}} ({{lang|grc-Latn|októ}}), meaning "eight", because it is equal to 1,000⁸. It was added as an [[SI prefix]] to the [[International System of Units]] (SI) in 1991.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bipm.org/en/CGPM/db/19/4/|title=Resolution 4 of the 19th CGPM (Conférence Générale des Poids et Mesures)|publisher=BIPM (Bureau International des Poids et Mesures)

*One [[yottabyte]] (YB) is a unit of digital information or information storage capacity  that contains one septillion bytes or 1,000 [[zettabyte]]s.  The [[yobibyte]] (YiB) is a related unit that uses a [[binary prefix]], and means 1,024⁸ bytes, which is approximately 1.2 septillion bytes.
