how much megabites are in a gigabite?

Answer 1

A gigabyte is equal to 1000 megabytes

Answer 2

--> 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.

Few people are going to fill up that so-called 80GB drive, regardless
of the stated size. Still, I wish marketers were more honest about
hard drive sizes. It should be easy to understand what you're
really getting.

Answer 3

1024

Answer 4

1024

Answer 5

In laymans terms, 1,000 times a mega bite

Mega 1,000,000
Giga 1.000.000.000

It's just that the computer doesn't count on it's fingers (by tens) but rather (-dumb! no, not on it's toes EITHER!) though they are very much ON their toes since they count extremely fast!

They count on something called the binary system. it sort of works like off /on ; yes/ no; but literally BILLIONS of times a second -the fast ones-. Good enough? A gigabite is something like a thousand sixty odd mega bites (I think)

Answer 6

1024 MB

Answer 7

there is 1024 Mb in 1Gb and 1024Gb in 1Tb

Answer 8

1000 MB is a Gigabyte... so if a file is 979 MB, it's just under one gigabyte.

Answer 9

1024, because they use binary numbers.
