--> UNDERSTANDING GIGABYTES
When people buy computers, they're told they're getting a hard drive of
a certain size--80 gigabytes, perhaps. But when they check the computer
they find only 74GB. Where did the other 6GB go?
This is the difference between marketing and math. As far as marketers
are concerned, 80 billion bytes is 80GB. But it's not. A gigabyte is
1.074 billion bytes (2 to the power of 30). If you divide 80 by 1.074,
you'll get 74.6. That's the true number of gigabytes.
These round numbers are fairly easy to remember. A kilobyte is 2 to
the power of 10 (or 2^10), a megabyte is 2^20, and a terabyte (1.0995
trillion bytes!) is 2^40.

Learn metrics, its easy. Each metric prefix is a power of 10. In this case kilo is greek for one thousand and mega is greek for one million. Divide and you get one thousand kilobytes per megabyte, and one thousand megabytes per gigabyte, and one thousand gigabytes per terabyte. All the metric prefixes are in the link below.

There are 1,048,576 bytes in a megabyte, so technically, assuming a real kilobyte is 1000 btyes, then a megabyte = 1048.576
But most people, for ease, just same a 1000KB = 1MB
