--> 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.

What size system is it? An eight bit system used 8 bits to form one byte. Since then there have been 16, 32,64, 128 bit systems. Since you're comparing mega bits to megabytes it will be one times the bit rating.

OK here we go.

There are 8 bits in a byte
There are 1024 bytes in a kilo byte
There are 1024 kilo bytes in a megabyte
There are 1024 megabytes in a gigabyte
There are 1024 gigabytes in a terabyte
