SI is the inital of the French words, 'Systeme InternationLe'.
; Otherwise knowqn as Standard International System.
International Standard (or International System of Units)
It goes like this: kilo, mega, giga. We use kilo for 103, mega for 106 and giga for 109.
Tera = 1,000,000,000,000 units Giga = 1,000,000,000 units Mega = 1,000,000 units Kilo = 1,000 units Hecto= 100 units Deca = 10 units
In computers 1 gb is equal to 1024 mb so you need 5*1024mb=5120mb to make 5 gb Extra info But when a hard disk manufacturer claims that a product has 500 gb means that has 500*1000^3=500,000,000,000 bytes not 500*1024^3= 536870912000 bytes. So dividing 500,000,000,000 by 1024^3 the result is 488281250 kb or 476837,2 mb or 465,6 gb because: 1 tera (t) ->1000 giga (g) ->1024 giga (g) in computers 1 giga (g) ->1000 mega (m)->1024 mega (m) in computers 1 mega (m) ->1000 kilo (k)->1024 kilo (k) in computers 1 kilo (k) ->1000 ->1024 in computers In computers 1 gb is equal to 1024 mb so you need 5*1024mb=5120mb to make 5 gb Extra info But when a hard disk manufacturer claims that a product has 500 gb means that has 500*1000^3=500,000,000,000 bytes not 500*1024^3= 536870912000 bytes. So dividing 500,000,000,000 by 1024^3 the result is 488281250 kb or 476837,2 mb or 465,6 gb because: 1 tera (t) ->1000 giga (g) ->1024 giga (g) in computers 1 giga (g) ->1000 mega (m)->1024 mega (m) in computers 1 mega (m) ->1000 kilo (k)->1024 kilo (k) in computers 1 kilo (k) ->1000 ->1024 in computers
Tera tonne = 1,000,000,000,000 tonne Giga tonne = 1,000,000,000 tonne Mega tonne= 1,000,000 tonne kilo tonne = 1,000 tonne hecto tonne = 100 tonne deca tonne = 10 tonne
These are all prefixes to root words. Mega = 1000000, kilo = 1000, milli = .0001, micro = .0000001
It goes like this: kilo, mega, giga. We use kilo for 103, mega for 106 and giga for 109.
No, it is 1 billion. Remember, you have kilo, mega then giga
These are all units for indicating size of digital memory or information bits. GB - Giga Byte MB - Mega Byte KB - Kilo Byte Gb - Giga bit Mb - Mega bit Kb - Kilo bit 1 Byte = 8 bits 1 Giga = 1000 Mega 1 Mega = 1000 Kilo
Mega, Giga, Tera
. . 1 Tera is 1000 Giga 1 Giga is 1000 Mega 1 Mega is 1000 Kilo 1 Kilo is 1000 mili 1 mili is 1000 micro 1 micro is 1000 nano . .
Tera = 1,000,000,000,000 units Giga = 1,000,000,000 units Mega = 1,000,000 units Kilo = 1,000 units Hecto= 100 units Deca = 10 units
kilo 1000mega 1000 000 (million)giga 1000 000 000 (billion)A Giga octet for instance is 1000 Mega octet
well the list of prefixes are as following in the "10 system" (metric length and so on) deka- hecto- kilo- giga- tera- peta- exa- zetta- yotta- In the binary system (bytes, hertz) deka and hecto are not used. So after gigahertz is terahertz then petahertz and so on Only missed "mega-" in the listed base 10 order of power. It goes ...kilo- mega- giga-... deka = 10 hecto = 100 kilo = 1,000 mega = 1,000,000 giga = 1,000,000,000 tera = 1,000,000,000,000 etc.
It's not a question of "better", only of bigger. Giga is a lot bigger than mega.
bit- byte- kilo- mega- giga- tera- peta- exa- zetta- yotta-
it means billions Mega means Millions Kilo means thousands
