Like any currency in the world, Bitcoin is divided into smaller units, allowing part of the currency to be bought. The smallest value is given to "Satoshi", and it was named after "Satoshi Nakamoto", the creator of Bitcoin.
Each Bitcoin can be divided into 100 million "Satoshi". Another common unit is the "μBTC" bit, which is about one in a million parts of Bitcoin.
