1024 MB = 1 GB

2007-02-21 09:30:18 · answer #1 · answered by jimmy.parker06 5 · 2 1

1,024 Byte = 1 Kilobyte (KB)
1,024 Kilobyte (KB) = 1 Megabyte (MB)
1,073,741,824 Bytes = 1 Gigabyte (GB)
1 Gigabyte (GB) = 1,024 Megabyte (MB)

but for our convenient,

some use 1 KB = 1000 Byte, 1GB = 1000 MB.

The exact calculation is using order 2.

1 KB = 2^10 = 1024 Byte
1MB = 2^10 * 2^10 = 1024 KByte
1GB = 1024 MByte

for todays, it will be easy to say 1 GB = 1000 MB :)

have a nice computing

As of 2007, most consumer hard drives are defined by their gigabyte-range capacities. The true capacity is usually some number above or below the class designation. Although most manufacturers of hard disks and Flash disks define 1 gigabyte as 1,000,000,000 bytes, the computer operating systems used by most users usually calculate a gigabyte by dividing the bytes (whether it is disk capacity, file size, or system RAM) by 1,073,741,824. This distinction is a cause of confusion, especially for people from a non-technical background, as a hard disk with a manufacturer rated capacity of 40 gigabytes may have its capacity reported by the operating system as only 37.2 GB, depending on the type of report. The difference between SI and binary prefixes is logarithmic - in other words, an SI kilobyte is nearly 98% as much as a kibibyte, but a megabyte is under 96% as much as a mebibyte, and a gigabyte is just over 93% as much as a gibibyte. This means that a 500 GB hard disk drive may appear as 465 GB. As storage sizes get larger and higher units are used, this difference will become more pronounced.

1024 MB are in 1GB (approx 1000)

It goes by increments of approximately 1000
1000KB is 1 MB, 1000 MB is 1 gigabyte, 1000GB is a terabyte, and so on and so forth.

8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024

Technically it is 1024 MB = 1 GB but as a thumb rule it is said that 1000 MB = 1 GB.

1 Terabyte = 1024 Gigabytes, 1 Gigabyte = 1024 Megabytes, 1 Megabyte = 1024 Kilobytes, 1 Kilobyte =1024 Bytes, you get the idea

Exception: 1 byte = 8 bits

Forgot to say: memory is measured in multiples of 8, NOT 10, eg 32, 64, 128, 256 etc so anyone who says it is 1000 isn't right. It is exactly 1024 Megabytes.

The way a amount of information is measured is by the power of Ten
Ten Bytes equals one Kilobyte and Ten K Equals a MB so therfore Ten thousand K equals a GB

I heard that the Hardrive companies are making Freaky Fat HD's in the 500 Gigabyte Sizes

To Learn even more about this subject i suggest you go to Wikipedia

Thanks
Hope This helps

ditto 1000 MB

1 K = 1000
1 M = 1000000
1 G = 1000000000

so 1000 MB = 1 GB, it has nothing to do with PC memory which started storing memory in 2k, then 4k, then 8k, then 16k.... (keept double so thats where 1024 came from (512 * 2) - this is the way pc memory is used. but the answer to ur question is shown above (pure math)

dont let anyone tell u otherwise...
