How many Gigs in a Gigabite, or is it the other way around? And how many MegaBites are in a Gig?

Definition: One kilobit per second (Kbps) equals 1000 bits per second (bps). Kbps is also written as “kbps” that carries the same meaning. Likewise, one megabit per second (Mbps) equals one million bps and one Gigabit equals one billion bps. \n\nOne gigabyte is equal to 1,024 megabytes. Gigabyte is often abbreviated as G or GB.\n\n1,024 bits for technical purposes, such as data storage. 1,000 for general purposes. Data transfer rates are measured in kilobits per second, abbreviated as Kbps, and count a kilo as 1,000 bits.\n\nWhen used to describe data transfer rates, as in MBps, it refers to one million bytes

you can easy calculate from Tera to Giga with multiply by 1024\n\nso 20 TB gives 20*1024 GB which gives 20480 GB

1GB = 1024MB As simple as that. NOT a 1000!!

A gigabyte is roughly 1 billion bytes.  A byte is roughly equivalent to one letter.  (2 bytes are used for more complex character sets like chinese).\n\nIf you think of a computer as a desk, the memory is the size of the desktop.  The number of things that you can work on is limited by the size of that desk.  The hard drive is like the drawers.  That's where you store information that you are not currently working with.\n\nMemory takes the form of microchips in your computer.  THey are very fast but don't hold very much and require power to work.  A hard drive is very much like a cassette tape.  You need power to record and play but the information stays on the drive when the machine is turned off.  Hard drives are much slower than memory chips, but also much cheaper per gigabyte, which is why computers have both.

Thats the reverse. 1024KB makes 1MB.

bahamadude is correct there are 1024 kilobytes in a megabyte.\nKilobyte is bad since it has a double meaning, kilobyte can mean 1000 or 1024 , but when refering to memory everyone should assume 1024 since memory is ussualy in power of 2's in otherwards 32768 kilobyes = 32 MB (or MiB)of ram.\n\nread this artical at wiki\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_prefix\n\nTo expand \n1 kilobyte = 1024 bytes.\n1 megabyte = 1024 kilobytes\n1 gigabyte = 1024 megabytes

1MB is 1000 kilobytes in theory (SI prefix)\nHowever, 1MiB (binary megabyte, not SI prefix), is 1024KiB.\n\nIn more simple terms: byte = 8 bits, kilobyte = 1024bytes, megabyte = 1024kb and so on.

No, not millibytes, megabytes!\n\nIn computer science, a byte is the smallest storage size and is 8 bits, 8 ones and zeroes.\n\n1 byte (B) = 8 bits (b)\n1 kilobyte (kB) = 1024 byte = 2^10 byte\n1 Megabyte (MB) = 1024 kB = 1048576 B = 2^20 byte\n1 Gigabyte (GB) = 1024 MB = 1073741824 B = 2^30 byte\n1 Terabyte (TB) = 1024 GB = 1099511627776 B = 2^40 byte\n\nin common mathematics, it is just a little bit different (but almost the same):\n\nnano = 0.00,000,000,1 = 10^-9\nmicro = 0.00,000,1 = 10^-6\nmilli = 0.00,1 = 10^-3\ncenti = 0.01 = 10^-2\ndeci = 0.1 = 10^-2\nkilo = 1,000 = 10^3\nMega = 1,000,000 = 10^6\nGiga = 1,000,000,000 = 10^9\nTerra = 1,000,000,000,000 = 10^12

1 megabyte (MB) = 1024 kilobytes (KB)\n1 gigabyte (GB) = 1024 megabytes (MB)

1Gb = 1,024Mb.\n1Mb = 1,024kb.

Have not seen a chart but here is the math\n\nthe average mp3 is about 3.5 mb\nthere is approximately 1000 mb in a gigabyte\n\nso that is 1000/3.5=285\n\n1 gb=285\n2 gb=570\n3 gb=855\n4 gb=1140\n\n\nI am speaking in terms of songs and not play time

1gb=1024 mb\n1mb=1024 kb\n1 kb=1024 b\nhope that answers to your question

LOL!!!\n\n1Gb/s broadband!!!\n\nYou are out of your mind, that does not exist for home usage, maybe for IBM offices...\n\nWhat country are you in? That determines what companys you want to look at!\n\nI think you meant 1mb/s... correct me if i am wrong.\n\n\nEDIT:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::\n\nPlease watch out for this:\n\nUNLIMITED DOWNLOAD, in the small print - they usualy put "Subject to Fair usage Policy" Therfore it is not unlimited and you can be kicked off the service or limited to say 15kbps upload and 30kbps download if u try to use a lot of bandwidth.\n\nI download a fair bit but the BT package with 40gb is more than enough (i live in the uk).

Mega bits and Mega bytes ??\n\n1 byte = 8 bits

I think you must have miss heard whoever told you these things exist...or it's an American thing;\nThe common prefixes are:\nkilobyte: 1/1,024 MB\nmegabyte: 1 MB\ngigabyte: 1,024 MB\nterrabyte: 1,048,576 MB\npetabyte: 1,073,741,824 MB\nexabyte: 1,099,511,627,776 MB

Actually there is some ambiguity even among experts, it could be 1000 or 1024\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilobyte\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megabyte

MB/s is how many megabytes (each byte is 8 bits long) a device can transmit or receive per second. Generally, this unit is used when copying files or burning CDs, for example.\n\nMbits/s is how many megabits is sent or received per second by a device. Used when talking about network speeds at all.
