A GB is larger.
A kilobyte (KB) equals 1024 (or 2^10) bytes. Likewise, a megabyte (MB) equals 1024 KB or 2^20 bytes and a gigabyte (GB) equals 1024 MB or 2^30 bytes.
1,024 Byte = 1 Kilobyte (KB)
1,024 Kilobyte (KB) = 1 Megabyte (MB)
1,073,741,824 Bytes = 1 Gigabyte (GB)
1 Gigabyte (GB) = 1,024 Megabyte (MB)

bit = a single memory value of on (1) or Off (0)
Nibble = 4 bits
byte = 8 bits which relates to 1 of 254 possible characters
Kilobyte = 1,024 bytes
MegByte = 1,048,576 bytes
GigaByte = 1,073,741,824 bytes
Since computers work with binary (1s and 0s) all the numbers are based on a multiple of 2.
1 x 2 = 2
2 x 2 = 4
8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, .....
Hope this helps!

A gigabyte is 1024 Megabytes. 1GB == 1024GB.
A gigabyte is only 1000 MB if it's in terms of a hard drive, and they're running in to problems with that because it confuses the customers.

its GB always!!
here is how they r calculated.
1024 Kilo Bytes (KB) = 1 Mega Bytes (MB)
1024 Mega Bytes(MB) = 1 Giga Bytes (GB)
1024 Giga Bytes (GB) = 1 Tera Bytes (TB)

GB is LARGER
MB =When used to describe data storage, 1,048,576 (2 to the 20th power) bytes.
GB = (1,073,741,824) bytes 2 to the 30th power. One gigabyte is equal to 1,024 megabytes (MB).

Well let's see.... MB is mega, where as GB is giga.
And giga is an exponent off of a mega, ergo, a giga is of course, much larger.

GB
an episode of a T.V. show is usualy a GB, one minute of music is arround 1MB
b.t.w....there is also a Terrabyte (TB) which is roughly 1000GB
