Best Answer

1 kilobyte consists of 1024 (or 210) bytes of information. The use of 210 bytes is due to the base 2 (radix 2) numbering system used by computers.

1 gigabyte consists of 1,073,741,824 (or 230) bytes of information.

1 gigabyte, therefore, contains 1,048,576 kilobytes.

However, these values are often given by computer and software companies to mean 1 kilobyte is 1000 bytes and 1 gigabyte is 1,000,000,000 bytes. This is due to the unfamiliarity of many people with the base 2 numbering system. This also gives an edge to advertisers who sometimes mix the meanings of the quantities.

For example one company could advertise a hard drive to have 1 gigabyte of space (meaning 230) where as another may say the same hard drive has 1.073 gigabytes space which would make their product appear to be superior.

1mb is 1000kb, and 1gb is 1000 mb, so 1 gb is 1,000,000 kb

There are 2^10 kilobytes (KB) in one megabyte (MB). There are also 2^10 MB in one gigabyte (GB). then one kilobyte is 1/1028 of a megabyte and 1/1056784 of a gigabyte.
