How many pages a floppy can hold?

Answer 1

a floppy can hold data maximum of 1.44mb

Answer 2

It depends. If you take typical TXT format and assume that one typical page can hold approximately 1800 characters then we can calculate that 1,44 MB floppy disk (again typical one) can hold up to 819 pages of uncompressed text.

The situation changes if you compress that text. Compression ratios can go quite high for text-only document e.g. 50 or more percent which means you can fit that much more pages.

Next, if you use MS Word or similar package to save pages in DOC format, it will consume more space for storage capacity as DOC format itself increases the filesize because of its own overhead. And again DOC file can be compressed as well therefore fitting more pages onto a disk.

So as you can see it all depends on how you use the floppy. But if you want a safe bet take 500 pages to be a nice round number that can fit on a floppy disk.

Answer 3

A floppy disk is 1.4 MB and that means u can save 1.4*1024*1024*8 = 11744051.2 letters there. This should be more than enough for ur needz if u r just saving the text file or RTF (rich text file with various sized texts, colors. etc). The word doc should be no prob, too. But saving images would not be a best idea when it comes to floppies..

Answer 4

Completely depends on page size, A normal floppy can hold 1.44MB of data. Now how many pages it can hold is depends on size of page. or you can say 1474KB of data
eg. if ur file is 2KB then it can hold 737files of this size.

Answer 5

1.8 mb
