Some say a kB (or kilobyte) is 1024 bytes rather than 1000 bytes. This is due to computer architecture. Dont let t confuse you. For now, we'll call a kilobyte 1000 bytes. The prefix "kilo" translates from Latin as "thousand". So, 1000 bytes = a kilo byte.
"Mega" translates to 1 million. Therefore, 1,000,000 bytes = either 1,000 kilobytes (1,000 x 1,000) or 1 Megabyte (1 x 1,000,000).
"Giga" translates to 1 billion. 1,000,000,000 bytes = either 1,000,000 kilobytes or 1,000 megabytes or 1 gigabyte.
Whenever talking in bytes, always try to use the smallest digit. In other words, say "1 gigabyte" rather than "1 billion bytes"

Look up metric system on the web.
Basically just add 3 zeros to KB to get MB.

OK NOW!!! if u want the simplest answer, here it is because there is no such thing as a nibble, or 1000mb = i gigabye. whoever said that and whoever agreed with that [volitare] is wrong! this is the real answer! ::: first of all, 1024 bytes= 1 kilobyte.
1024 kilobytes = i megabyte
1024 megabytes = 1 gigabyte
1024 gigabytes = 1 terabyte
this is the true answer i researched this but i knew this for a LONG time. your welcome

4 bits = 1 nibble
8 bits or 2 nibbles = 1 byte
4 bytes = 1 word
256 words or 1,000 bytes = 1 MB
256,000 words or 1 million bytes = 1GB
For hexadecimal:
FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF = 1MB
(i'm not writing the string for 1GB but it's long). It's the string above written 1,000 times.

both answers above are correct.
each is considered to be a multiple of 1000 more than the previous, but to be absolutely precise, they are multiples of 1024

inoa5 is correct in saying that
1024KB = 1MB
1024MB = 1GB
1024GB = 1TB
However, Amin is also correct, though he is referring to what are known as "Japanese Bytes", where 1000kb=1mb

1GB=1000MB=1000000KB=1000000000Byte=8000000000Bit
