It means 5Mega Bytes of data,

i.e. 5*10^6 Bytes

which is equivalent to 5*2^20 Bytes

which is equal to 5*(2^20)*8 bits of data.

716.912 MB were used out of 5 GB how many GB is left?

Here is the lowdown: Computers use binary code so it's different how humans and computers think... In rounded terms: 1000 megabytes (mb) = 1 gigabyte (gb) In actuality (computer terms): 1024 megabytes (mb) = 5120 megabytes or 1 gigabyte (gb) (It has something to do with binary numbers as to why it's off by 24 mb) So... To answer your question... Rounded off: 5 gb = 5000 mb 5000-717= 4283 mb (all numbers rounded) (4.3 gb left) In actuality (computer terms): 5120-716.912= 4403.09 mb (numbers NOT rounded) (4.40309 gb left) Always remember to round UP if possible, to leave yourself some room. Rounded, you have 4.3 gb left Computer terms, you have 4.403 gb left Hope this helps, ChanceEPants
