MB (megaByte) and GB (gigaByte) are measurements of storage in computers. Typically used to measure Memory (like Random Access Memory aka RAM) or storage (Floppy disks, hard drives, thumb drives, etc)
A bit is the smallest unit of storage in a computer. It can be a 1 or a 0.
A byte is a grouping of 8 bits. This is the most common size worked with. A single typewritten character is stored in a byte (in the English language.)
Just like meters, the prefixes kilo, mega, and giga can be added to bytes to define larger grouping of bytes. However where in the metric system each prefix is 1000 times larger than the last prefix, for bytes each prefix is 1024 times larger than the last prefix. (Note: Most hard drive manufactures use 1000 between prefixes since it makes their hard drives seem bigger.)
1 GB = 1,024 MB = 1,048,576 KB = 1,073,741,824 B1 MB = 1,024 KB = 1,048,576 B
1 KB = 1,024 B
