Exact Conversion
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)
1 Terabyte = 1,024 Gigabyte (GB)
1 Petabyte = 1,048,576 Gigabyte (GB)

As far as computers are concerned:
A kilobyte is 1024 bytes
A megabyte is 1,048,576 bytes (or 1024 squared)
A gigabyte is 1,073,741,824 bytes (or 1024 cubed)
However, as far as your hard drive is concerned (in an unformatted state) 1,000,000 bytes equal a megabyte, and 1,000,000,000 bytes equal a gigabyte.
It's a difference of opinion, for the most part, and that's why you can't sue Seagate for selling a 250gb drive that only shows up as ~230gb after formatting.

A bit is the smallest piece of information that computers use. For simplicity, a PC uses bits in groups of 8 called bytes (8 bits = 1 byte).
Bytes may appear as Bytes, KiloBytes (1,024 bytes), MeghaBytes (1,048,576 bytes), GigaBytes (1,073,741,824), TeraBytes (about 1,099,511,000,000 bytes), or PetaBytes (about 1,125,899,900,000,000 bytes).
Hope this was useful..

Hi. KB is KiloBytes (1000) . MB is MegaBytes (1,000,000) , GB is GigaBytes (1,000,000,000).
