How many bytes to a gigabyte?

Answer 1

8 bits = 1 byte, 1024 bytes = 1 Kilobyte, 1024 kilobytes = 1 megabyte, 1024 megabytes = 1 gigabyte. Or as most humans look at it 1billion bytes equals a gigabyte. 1024 gigabytes = 1 terabyte 1024 terabytes = 1 petabyte and 1024 petabytes = 1 exabyte.

Answer 2

there is 2^10 (1024) bytes in a kilobyte

there is 2^10 (1024) kilobytes in a megabyte

there is 2^10 (1024 megabytes in a gigabyte

therefore, there is

2^30 (1024^3) = 1,073,741,824 bytes in a gigabyte.

Answer 3

This is simply a multiplication of 1024 to the third power. There are 1024 bytes in a kilobyte, 1024 kilobytes in a megabyte, and 1024 megabytes in a gigabyte. So, if you do the math, you find that one gigabyte is 1,073,741,824 bytes. Most people (and manufacturers nowadays) round this down to 1,000,000,000 bytes, however and this is the primary reason that hard drives are smaller than they are advertised to be once they are installed in computers. The manufacturers have continued to round down when referring to terabytes as well. So, for example, a 4TB drive should have 4096 gigabytes or 4,398,046,511,104 bytes but instead, they end up having only 4,000,000,000,000 bytes and therefore only 3.64TB. Nearly a ten percent loss of capacity because of rounding down for human convenience rather than continuing to use the numbers that are appropriate for the computer.
