∙ 6y agoGiga. For example, a gigabyte (Gb) is 1,000,000,000 (1 billion) bytes.
1 Gb = 1000 Mb where 1 billion = 1000 million
* This uses the US "short scale" of 1 thousand rather than 1 million between named numbers.

∙ 13y agoThe term 'billion' is not actually defined in the metric system (or, more correctly, the International System of Units, abbreviated as SI).
That said, most English-speaking countries define 1 billion as 10^9, or a thousand million, or 1 000 000 000. This is known as the 'short scale'.
Most other countries define 1 billion as 10^12, or a million million, or 1 000 000 000 000. This is known as the 'long scale'.
If you're asking what SI prefix is used to denote multiplication by a billion, the answer is 'giga' if you use 10^9 for 1 billion, and 'tera' if you use 10^12 for 1 billion.
