if i have a 256 mb usb mass storage divice how many KB's do i have?

Answer 1

Technically, one MB = 1024 KB, so you should have 262,144 KB. However, manufacturers don't like binary, and say that 1 MB is 1000 KB, so you are really going to have 256,000 KB.

The difference is only 2.3%, but by the time you get up to GB, which should be 1024 x 1024 KB, but are only 1000 x 1000 KB; and TB, which should be 1024 ^ 3 KB, but are only 1000 ^ 3 KB, you are dealing with errors of 4.5% and 6.8% respectively.

I say we sue.

Answer 2

Kilo in mathematics is 1000
But kilo in computer is 1024,

so 'kb' is kilo byte, which we have to multipy by 1024, some books says it as kibi byte, which we have to multiply by 1000.

You may see, why 1024 instead of 1000? the reason is, in computer science, underlaying is the binary, (to the base 2).

And 1024 = 2^10, and that is the reason.

Mega is multiplying by 1000 (in day to day math) or by 1024 in computer math.

I did not answer you I know, but now you can guess the answer...

Answer 3

0.25000 gigabytes (abbreviated as G or GB)
0.000244 terabytes
0.0000002 petabytes
0.00000000 exabytes
