Best Answer

There are eight billion bits in a Giga byte.
Well actually there are eight bits in a single byte.
There are 1024 bytes in a kilobyte
There are 1024 kilobytes in a megabyte
There are 1024 megabytes in a Giga byte (and 1024 Gigabytes in a Terabyte etc)
So there are 8*1024*1024*1024 = 858589934592 bites in one Gigabyte.
Hard disks and other memory devices have to dedicate some of their capacity to lookup tables and adminstrative data so you can never get access to every single bit that a device has.
