If your computer has 522468 kilobytes how many gigabytes dose it have?

It will be 0.4982 GB. Following is a conversion rate: 1024 KB = 1 MB 1024 MB = 1 GB 1024 GB = 1 TB (which is highest unit for memory)


What is the Smallest piece of information processed by computer?

The smallest unit of memory if this is what your referring to is known as a Bit. from there they get larger. 4 Bits is a nibble. 8 Bits is a Byte. 8 to 96 Bytes is a Word. 1024 Bytes - Kilobyte 1024 KB - Megabyte 1024 MB - Gigabyte 1024 GB - Terabyte 1024 TB - Petabyte 1024 PB - Exabyte 1024 EB - Zettabyte 1024 ZB - Yottabyte


Which is faster 2GHZ or 5MHZ?

2GHz is faster then 5 MHz. Removing the Hz part of it which means Hertz. a G in computer terminology is Giga and a M in computer terminology is Mega Now put it together. Gigahertz Megahertz. in computing a byte is 1024 peices of data. their is 1024 bytes in a kilo byte and 1024 kilobytes in a megabyte and 1024 megabytes in a gigabyte. it's the same thing with hertz. Hope that solved your question


What is a Roentbyte?

¤ 1 Bit = Binary Digit ¤ 8 Bits = 1 Byte ¤ 1024 Bytes = 1 Kilobyte ¤ 1024 Kilobytes = 1 Megabyte ¤ 1024 Megabytes = 1 Gigabyte ¤ 1024 Gigabytes = 1 Terabyte ¤ 1024 Terabytes = 1 Petabyte ¤ 1024 Petabytes = 1 Exabyte ¤ 1024 Exabytes = 1 Zettabyte ¤ 1024 Zettabytes = 1 Yottabyte ¤ 1024 Yottabytes = 1 Brontobyte ¤ 1024 Brontobytes = 1 Geopbyte ¤ 1024 Geopbyte=1 Saganbyte ¤ 1024 Saganbyte=1 Pijabyte ¤ Alphabyte = 1024 Pijabyte ¤ Kryatbyte = 1024 Alphabyte ¤ Amosbyte = 1024 Kryatbyte ¤ Pectrolbyte = 1024 Amosbyte ¤ Bolgerbyte = 1024 Pectrolbyte ¤ Sambobyte = 1024 Bolgerbyte ¤ Quesabyte = 1024 Sambobyte ¤ Kinsabyte = 1024 Quesabyte ¤ Rutherbyte = 1024 Kinsabyte ¤ Dubnibyte = 1024 Rutherbyte ¤ Seaborgbyte = 1024 Dubnibyte ¤ Bohrbyte = 1024 Seaborgbyte ¤ Hassiubyte = 1024 Bohrbyte ¤ Meitnerbyte = 1024 Hassiubyte ¤ Darmstadbyte = 1024 Meitnerbyte ¤ Roentbyte = 1024 Darmstadbyte ¤ Coperbyte = 1024 Roentbyte Its a measure of data and the last one--> 4 bits = 1 nibble

What are the measurements for computer memory?

The most basic type of measurement in computers or memory storage systems, are bytes. Bytes are so small however, that usually the smallest unit of memory used in the modern computer systems are kilobytes. Kilobytes are equivalent to 1,000 bytes. Here is a chart to display the most used units in computers, and what they are equal to. Bytes = Basic Unit Kilobyte = 1,000 bytes Megabyte = 1,000 kilobytes Gigabyte = 1,000 megabytes Terabyte = 1,000 gigabytes Currently, modern computers have a max amount of storage of about 1 terabyte, and that is for a $1,000 plus computer. My computer has a total of 500 gigabytes of memory, or 1/2 1 terabyte. My computer cost $750.
