how many KB does it take to equal one MB and how many MB does it take to equal one GB?

Answer 1

1024KB=1MB
1000MB=1GB

Answer 2

Technically 1000. So there's 1000B in a KB, 1000KB in a MB and 1000MB in a GB.

However, computers work on powers of two, so this is often rounded up to 1024. To for most computer uses, there will be 1024B in a KB, 1024KB in a MB and 1024Mb in a GB.

Modem manufacturers and hard drive manufacturers use 1000, everyone else uses 1024.

Answer 3

1024 KB = 1 MB

1024 MB = 1 GB ... the HD makers try to tell you that 1000 MB = 1 GB, but they're just trying to save money :) check this out for more details:
