The meaning of Megabyte (MB) in computing refers to a unit of digital size. other units of sizes are Byte, Kilobyte, Gigabyte and Terabyte. they work in this order:
1000 B > 1KB > 1000KB > 1 MB > 1000 MB > 1 GB > 1000 GB > 1 TB

Explain the relation of other memory units with bytes?
8 bits = 1 byte2^10 or 1024 bytes = 1 kilobyte (KB)2^10 or 1024 KB = 1 megabyte (MB) 2^10 or 1024 MB = 1 gigabyte (GB)2^10 or 1024 GB = 1 terabyte (TB)
How much is 223 gigabytes?
A regular mp3/song on a computer is about 4 or 5 megabytes. To explain a gigabyte, the conversion is 1000 megabytes = 1 gigabyte. So 223 gigabytes is a lot of memory. A lot of songs, pictures and other goodies Your average picture is from around 1 to 2 megabytes Smallest to largest size it goes; byte, kilobyte, megabyte, gigabyte... each converting by 1000 Hope that helped even slightly =D
What is 9000 MB equals in GB?
There is just under 9 gigabytes in 9000 megabytes In order to be exactly 9 gigabytes it would have to be 9216 megabytes, here's a conversion table to explain: 1024 Bytes = 1 KiloByte 1024 KiloBytes = 1 MegaByte 1024 MegaBytes = 1 GigaByte 1024 GigaBytes = 1 TeraByte
Can anyone explain how to work out how many gigabytes in petabyte?
There are 1,000,000 GB in one PB. 1 = byte 1,000 = kilobyte 1,000,000 = megabyte (million) 1,000,000,000 = gigabyte (billion) 1,000,000,000,000 = terabyte (trillion) 1,000,000,000,000,000 = petabyte (quadrillion)
Which is larger gb--mb--mhz--kb---bytes explain?
mhz is a different object but to answer your question simply, no prefix= x1, kilo= x10, mega= x100, giga= x1000
What is bigger MB vs GB?
1 Bit- Enough to fit one character.1 Byte (8 Bits) - Enough to fit a sentence, or eight characters.1 Kilobyte (1024 Bytes) - Enough for a large text file.1 Megabyte (1024 Kilobytes) - Enough for a whole book.1 Gigabyte (1024 Megabytes) - Enough for a movie.1 Terabyte (1024 Gigabyte) - Enough for 500 hours worth of movie.1 Petabyte (1024 Terabyte) - Enough to store 57 years worth of movie.
What do i need to buy to set up a basic computer?
Money, knowing what you want for a good price explain what you need the store and tell them what your budget is and then tell them what you will use it for. If he or she says something about Gigabytes of memory that's ram and it is how fast the computer will be, Gigabyte Harddrive you would want at least 320 gigabytes or at the very least 160 gigabytes for space to install programs on you computer. Make sure it comes with a network card installed and makesure it is at least 1 Gigabyte of ram. A Gigabyte is 1024 Megabytes it's huge. Then comes TeraByte which is 1024 Gigabytes (these are expensive) Peda, Exa, Zetta and Yottabytes you'll never afford they are so big it's ridiculous infact every computer COMINT on the planet doesn't even come to 1 Zettabyte which is huge.
How many photos can be stored with 32GB not KGB?
There's no quick answer to this because photos vary enormously in size - and I don't mean the size on a bit of paper, I mean the size of the file in kilo or megabytes. Some may be less than 1mg but many, paricularly with modern high definition cameras may be several megabytes. Your question actually talks about 32kgb, which translates as 32 kilo gigabytes, by which you may mean 32,000 gigabytes, or 32 terabytes. But you'd need to explain this before anyone can answer you properly.
How does one assess if a computer is powerful?
Deciding on whether or not a computer is powerful depends upon what functions a user will be utilizing the computer for. A computer's functionality is based upon the following things:1. Processor Speed and type - The processor is your computer's "brain" and determines how fast the computer can perform calculations. Naturally, the larger the number, the better. The processor speed is measured in units of Hertz. Pre-98 computers used megahertz. Modern computers use gigahertz. An average computer possesses 2.4 gigahertz or more. 3.5 gigahertz is about the fastest home computer you can buy at the moment.2. Memory - The computer's memory is what allows you to utilize more than one function at a time. The memory is temporary storage space for your computer. An application -- such as Windows Word -- will write to it when it runs and delete from it when it is closed. A typical computer uses 512mb to 2 gigabytes of memory, depending on the hardware purchased.3. Hard Drive Space - The hard drive is an area where the computer stores information. Nowadays, it is measured in gigabytes. The larger the number of gigabytes, the better. A typical modern computer possesses between 100 and 500 gigabytes. Servers have hard drive space that is large enough to be measured in terabytes.4. Graphics functionality - A graphics card is an add-on that a user can put into a computer to handle all graphic calculations. A graphics card has its own processor on it that performs much like the processor in the computer. When graphics are being processed, the graphics card -- or GPU -- takes over and leaves the computer's core processor to handle all other functions. This is useful, because it reduces or eliminates hangs and also allows the user to run games or graphics at a higher setting.A typical add-on graphics card's memory is measured in megabytes or even gigabytes. The higher the megabytes, the better the card.In addition, here's a little tip to help explain the way space is measured in a computer:1024 bytes=1 Kilo bytes1024 KB = 1 Mega Bytes1024MB = 1 Giga bytes1024 GB= 1 Tera Bytes.1024 MHz = 1 GHz
What is bigger 10mb or 32kb?
Let me explain a bit. 1 byte = 8 bits 1 Kilobyte = 1024 bytes 1 Megabyte = 1024 Kilobytes 1 Gigabyte = 1024 Megabytes So.. 10 Megabytes = 10240Kb is larger than 32Kb
How many Megabytes in 1 Gig?
1000For the general population yes, but technically it's 1024 Megabytes to the Gigabyte.It is commonly thought that also 1000 bytes equal 1 kilobyte. But to explain you must understand that 1 byte contains 8 bits. A bit being the small unit data that makes up all the information stored on your hard-drive. The problem here is that everything has to break evenly into the the number of bits.8 bit = 1 byte1,024 bytes = 1 kilobyte (8,192 bits)1024 kilobytes = 1 megabyte (8,388,608 bits)1024 megabytes = 1 gigabyte (8,589,934,592 bits)
How much does a GB hold?
While Giga is billion and defined in base ten as 109 computers do not understand this. They only understand base two or binary. The term gibibyte is the name of what the computer actually understands and would be 233 bits as the actual number. To explain, kilobyte would be 103 or 1000 bytes, but the computer understands binary so a kibibyte is 210 bytes or 1024 bytes. Megabyte is 106 or 1,000,000 bytes, but again the computer understands mebibytes which is 220 or 1,048,576 bytes, or 210 x 210 or 1024 x 1024. Continuing onward a gigabyte would be 109 bytes or 1,000,000,000 bytes, which the computer again does not understand. It understands a gibibyte which is 230 bytes, or 210 x 210 x 210 , or 1024 x 1024 x 1024, or 1,073,741,824 bytes. To get bits of data, you multiply by 8 bits/byte or 23. This is why you can buy a hard drive that advertises as a certain number of gigabytes, but when you attach it to a computer; you are told that it is a bit smaller. The computer understands gibibytes which is a larger number divided into the total number of bytes available and gives a smaller number as its total.
