1 kilobyte = 1024 bytes
1 megabyte = 1024 kilobytes
1 gigabyte = 1024 megabytes

A computer is about 0 and 1.
Switches so to speak. Either on or off. Such a switch is called a bit. 8 of those go into a byte.
The previous posters got it right. It is all about counting how much a computer can 'remember' (when talking Hard drive in Gigabytes) and how much it can work with at the same time (usually talking in Mega). But there is no difference really.
That is the answer to your question. The Giga is (usually) for the total a computer can store and the MB is for the working memory of the computer.
