A gigabyte (derived from the SI prefix giga-) is a unit of information or computer storage equal to one billion (that is, a thousand million) bytes.


Gigabytes GB (Note: big "B") 1000 Computer storage (eg 500 GB hard disk)
Gigabit Gb (Note: small "b") 125 Internet speed (eg 1 Gb/s data transfer rate)

One million bytes, or more precisely 1,048,576 bytes. Also MB, Mbyte and M-byte.



kilobyte (kB) 210 103 kibibyte (KiB) 210
megabyte (MB) 220 106 mebibyte (MiB) 220
gigabyte (GB) 230 109 gibibyte (GiB) 230
terabyte (TB) 240 1012 tebibyte (TiB) 240
petabyte (PB) 250 1015 pebibyte (PiB) 250
exabyte (EB) 260 1018 exbibyte (EiB) 260
zettabyte (ZB) 270 1021 zebibyte (ZiB) 270
yottabyte (YB) 280 1024 yobibyte (YiB) 280

abbreviation for amount of memory.

a byte, as you know is 8 bits.
a kilo byte is 1024 bytes.
a mega byte is 1024 kb.
a giga byte is 1024 mb.
a tera byte is 1024 gb and so on.

kilo, mega, giga and tera are known as sub-multipliers.
kilo is 10 ^ 3
mega is 10 ^ 6
giga is 10 ^ 9
tera is 10 ^ 12

MB A megabyte is a unit of information or computer storage equal to approximately one million bytes. It is commonly abbreviated MB. Mb is used for megabits.

KB A kilobyte (derived from the SI prefix kilo-, meaning 1000) is a unit of information or computer storage equal to either 1024 or 1000 bytes. It is commonly abbreviated KB, kB, Kbyte, kbyte, or, very informally, K or k.

The term "kilobyte" was first used to refer to a value of 1024 bytes (210), because the binary nature of digital computers lends itself to quantities that are powers of two, and 210 is roughly one thousand. As computers became more widely used, this misuse (according to the BIPM) of the SI prefix spread from the slang of computer professionals into the mainstream lexicon, creating much confusion.

GB gigabyte (derived from the SI prefix giga-) is a unit of information or computer storage equal to one billion (that is, a thousand million) bytes.
1,000,000,000 bytes or 109 bytes is the decimal definition used in telecommunications (such as network speeds) and most computer storage manufacturers (such as hard disks and flash drives). This usage is compatible with SI. Quotes from Seagate: "The storage industry standard is to display capacity in decimal"[1], and "One gigabyte, or GB, equals one billion bytes when referring to hard drive capacity"[2], and similar quotes are found on the websites of other storage manufacturers.
1,073,741,824 bytes, equal to 10243, or 230 bytes. This is the definition used for computer memory sizes, and most often used in computer engineering, computer science, and most aspects of computer operating systems. The IEC recommends that this unit should instead be called a gibibyte (abbreviated GiB), as it conflicts with SI units used for bus speeds and the like. HP states Microsoft normally adheres to this definition [3]
