The prefixes used for byte measurements are usually the same as the SI prefixes used for other measurements, but have slightly different values. The former are based on powers of 1,024 (210), a convenient binary number, while the SI prefixes are based on powers of 1,000 (10 3rd), a convenient decimal number. The table below illustrates these differences. See binary prefix for further discussion.
Prefix...Name......SI Meaning...................Binary meaning
K.........kilo...........10(3rd) = 1000(1st)........210 = 1024(1st)
M........mega........10(6th) = 1000(2nd).......220 = 1024(2nd)
G........giga..........10(9th) = 1000(3rd)........230 = 1024(3rd)
T.........tera..........10(12th) = 1000(4th)......240 = 1024(4th)

1000 bt = 1 kb
1000 kb = 1mb
1000 mb= 1gb
1000 gb = 1 tb

most consider it to be 1000 megabytes but it realy is 1024 megabytes. so 1024bytes in a kilobyte 1024kilobytes in a megabyte and 1024 megabytes in a giggabyte and 1024 gigabytes in a terrabyte

1024 = 1gb

it's latin.
8 bits in 1 byte
1 kilo = 1,000
1 mega = 1,000,000
1 giga = 1,000,000,000
some of the answers say 1,024 instead of 1,000 because that is how Windows reads the data.
