what are gigabytes?

Question

Does the more gigabytes you have on your computer mean the more space you have?

Answer 1

Gigabytes refers to a amount of storage. One gigabyte equals one billon bytes of data, so yes the more gigabytes you have on you hard drive or in your memmory will mean more space, and better performance.

Answer 2

it's a measure of information or electronic data. It's a measure of storage. Some say it's a thousand Megabytes and that a megabyte it's 1000 kilobytes and that a kilobyte= 1000bytes. But actually it's not 1000 it's actually 1024, that is:
1 GB= 1024*1024*1024 Bytes=1.073.741.824 bytes
Now, 1Byte=8bits so

1GB = 8.589.934.592 bits of information

So, since a GB is a measure of storage, yes, the more GBs you have the more space you have to save information.

A bit (binary digit) is a digit in the binary numeral system, which consists of base 2 digits ( 0 and 1). The bit is also a unit of measurement, the information capacity of one binary digit. The bit is the smallest unit of storage used in computing.

Hope this was what you were looking for!

Answer 3

1024 bytes=1 kilo bytes

1024 kilo bytes= 1 megabyte

1024 megabytes=1 gigabyte

1024 gigabytes= 1 terrabytes.

so indeed the more gigabytes u have the more room u have.

Answer 4

A gigabyte is one billion bytes. A byte is a unit of storage on computers and is equal to the smallest amount of information that a computer can "bite" at one instant.

Answer 5

A kilobyte or (KB) is very small 1024 kbs equals one megabyte (MB) and 1024 mbs equals one gigabyte; and yes the more gigs or gigabytes you have to more space you have

Answer 6

Yes. I gigabyte is 1,000 megabytes. 1 old 3.5" floppy disk is 1.44 megabytes to give you an idea. 1 Gigabyte is equal to 694,444 of those 3.5" disks.

Answer 7

Yes. 1 Gb = 1000Mb. Used as a measure of either RAM or HD space.

Answer 8

Yeah.
