You GB you equal to how much MB?

Answer 1

Defined by Hardware Manufacturers:

Kilo-Bytes = 1,000 bytes

Mega-Bytes = 1,000,000 bytes

Giga-Bytes = 1,000,000,000 bytes or 1,000 Kb's

Windows Actual Figures:

Kilo-Bytes = 1,024 bytes

Mega-Bytes = 1,024,000 bytes

Giga-Bytes = 1,024,000,000 bytes

Therefore, a HDD marketed as 100 Gb's is really only 97.6 Gb's when speaking about how much information it can actually hold.

Remember Binary Code- 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048 and so on.

If it were true that a Kb was 1,000 bytes and not 1,024, binary code would have looked something like this

0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100...... and this pattern has multiple issues, such as it does not allow for multiplying, only adding, and we lose almost all (if not all) manual variables.
