how many magabytes are in a gigabyte?

Answer 1

approximately 1000mb=1gb
but it's actually 1024mb

Answer 2

As of 2006, most consumer hard drives are defined by their gigabyte-range capacities. The true capacity is usually some number above or below the class designation. Although most hard disk manufacturers' definition of GB is 1,000,000,000 bytes (however, computer memory has a natural inclination towards units that are powers of 2), most computer operating systems use the 1,073,741,824 byte definition. This distinction can be a cause of confusion, especially for people from a non-technical background, as a hard disk with a capacity of 1,000,000,000 bytes would have a reported capacity of only 0.93 GB.

[edit] Gigabytes in different products
A DVD-5 format disc is capable of storing 4.7 gigabytes, or roughly 4.38 gibibytes. A DVD-9 is capable of storing 8.5 gigabytes, or roughly 7.92 gibibytes.
One gigabyte is roughly equal to 18 hours of MP3 music (at 128 kbit/s).
One gigabyte is roughly equivalent to 11 hours, 40 minutes of Flash video (at 450x370).
Most 6th generation game consoles have game discs that are around 1 GB or more: Dreamcast (1.1 GB), GameCube (1.5 GB), Playstation 2 (8.5 GB), and Xbox (8.5 GB)
The human genome contains 0.791175 GB of data (the 3.1647×109 base pairs[4] represented as 2-bits).

Answer 3

1024

Answer 4

1024 MB = 1 GB

Answer 5

btw the reason for a lot of this is because there are 8 bytes in a bit, which has a lot to do with the numbers being multiples of 2 and 8.

Answer 6

1024 (2^10)
