1.5 GB is how many KB?

Answer 1

There are actually two answers to this, depending on what method you want to use to determine the answer.

Standard definitionThe standard definition for kilobyte is 1,000 (103) bytes, just like there are 1,000 meters in a kilometer.

Likewise, the standard definition for gigabyte is 1,000,000,000 (109) bytes. Dividing, this means there are 1,000,000 (1 million) kilobytes in a gigabyte.

This is the definition used for hard drives, portable memory drives (memory cards, USB drives), DVDs, Blu-ray disks, and most measures of performance. Some software (such as Mac OS X and the Linux kernel) uses this definition when displaying file and disk sizes.

Memory manufacturer definitionMemory manufacturers use a non-standard system that conflicts with the way everyone else measures. By their definition, a kilobyte (written "KB") is 1,024 (210) bytes, and a gigabyte (written "GB") is 1,073,741,824 (230) bytes.

The correct name for 1,024 bytes is "kilobinary byte" or "kibibyte". The correct name for 1,073,741,824 bytes is "gigabinary byte" or "gibibyte".

This is approximately equal to the above, but you may need to know it to figure out exact numbers:

By this definition, 1 "GB" = 1,048,576 "KB"

This definition is used by memory manufacturers and some software, like Microsoft Windows.

Answer 2

based on 1000 KB = 1 MB and so on based on 1024 KB = 1 MB and so on

4 Nibbles = 1 Bit 4 Nibbles = 1 Bit

8 Bits = 1 Byte 8 Bits = 1 Byte

1,000 Bytes = 1 KB 1024 Bytes = 1 KB

1,000 KB = 1 MB 1024 KB = 1 MB

1,000 MB = 1 GB 1024 MB = 1 GB

1,000 GB = 1 TB 1024 GB = 1 TB

~and the list goes on~

Don't confuse bits with bytes, ex. 8 Kilobits (Kb) = 1 Kilobyte (KB)

so on with Megabits (Mb) Gigabits (Gb) ...

Answer:

1,500,000 KB based on 1000 KB = 1 MB and so on

1,572,864 KB based on 1024 KB = 1 MB & 1024 MB = 1 GB, and so on

most people will use 1 MB being 1000 KB, but the reason for 1 MB = 1024 KB was/is for the way computer memory is stored. that's why you see flash drives that are usually

256 MB, 512 MB, 1024 MB (1 GB), 2 GB, 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB, and rarely 32 GB.

that's where it starts, because you keep with the pattern shown:

1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096 ...

I hope this wasn't too confusing for you, but maybe this will answer future questions & provide a better understanding if you can keep up.

P.S. for future conversions, If you'd like to convert based on 1000 KB = 1 MB, then all you have to do is move the decimal, and if you'd like to convert based on 1024KB = 1 MB, then Google calculator will provide you with the correct answer. You can use google calculator by typing into their searchbar something along the lines of: KB in 1.5 GB, but you have to remember to keep the letters capital, otherwise it will confuse it with Kilobits/Gigabits.

Oh, and remember, almost all ISP's (internet Service Providers such as Charter & Qwest) us Megabits per second, not Megabytes per second, so to find out how many Megabytes per second they are advertising, just divide it by 8.

Answer 3

1 MB= 1000 KB, 1GB= 1000MB, so 1GB= 1000 x 1000 kb

Answer 4

1500000 kb If you count 1024 mb as 1gb and 1024 kb as 1 mb then it will be 1572864 kb

Answer 5

1 GB = 1024 MB
But 1 MB = 1024 KB
Therefore, 1 GB = 1024 X 1024 KB = 1048576 KB
1.5 GB = 1.5 X 1048576 KB = 1572864 KB

Answer 6

1.5MB=1536KB. 1024kb=1MB. So, you would just have to multiply that number (1024) by however many MB you have. Same with the number of MB in a GB, GB in a TB, and so on.

Answer 7

1000 megabytes is equal to 1 gigabyte, so the answer is 1500.

Answer 8

1,500

1 MB = 1024 kB

1.5 MB x 1024 kB/MB = 1536 kB

Answer 9

1000 kb in gb
