How many Megabytes are there in a Gigabyte?

Question

I NEED PROOF!!!!!!!!

IT'S MORE THAN 1000

Answer 1

1024. Everything in computer numbering MUST be built as a power of 2. The smallest component, a bit, can be considered to be a simple on/off switch. It has 2 and exactly 2 positions, ON-OFF.

Bits are they combined in group of 8 to form one byte.

A kilobyte is 2 to the tenth power 2**10. Or 1024 bytes.
A megabyte is 2**20 or 1,048,576
A gigabyte is 2**30 or 1,073,741,824 which is 1024 megabytes.
The next named step up the ladder is a Terabyte, 2**40. That is 1,099,511,627,776

Hope this helps

Answer 2

there's are 1000 megabytes in a gigabyte, but in a gigabyte of RAM then its 1024 MB, it just easier to call it i gigabyte.

it all works on the binary system, the different sizes of ram etc. the binary system goes like this

1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 512, 1024, 2048

Answer 3

RAM memory manufacturers list 1024M == 1G. This is because memory usually needs to be exactly a power of 2 in size, so they're stuck with the 1024 (if a gigabyte card was 1000M in size, there'd be a 24M hole at the tail end).

Disk drive manufacturers however use 1000M == 1G, because that way they can advertise a slightly bigger (by about 2%) disk drive.

Answer 4

there are 1024mb in a gigabyte, 1024gb in a terabyte etc.

Answer 5

There are 1,024 to be exact.
