Quite simply, a kb is 1024 b (bits), a mb is 1024 kb, a gb is 1024 mb. You may have learned in school that kilo- means a thousand, and mega- means a million. This is basically true but needs further explanation.

When referencing data, a kilobit typically is 210 (two to the tenth power), a megabit is 220, and gigabit is 230, etc., etc... Now, mB or MB (notice the caps) means megabyte which is 8 megabits; every 8 bits equals 1 byte.

As far as megabytes go, 1024 bytes = 1 Kilobyte, 1024 KB = 1 MB, 1024 MB = 1 GB, etc.

One byte can typically refer to one typed character (ASCII text is represented by 7 bits) and one bit is only a single 1 or 0, the basis of digital information.

How many KB 1 GB?

1000 terabytes = 1 kilabyte, 1000 kilabytes = 1 megabyte, 1000 megabytes= 1 gigabyte One mb is 1024 KB, so one GB is 1024 MB ergo 1024 x 1024=1048567 witch means that 1 GB is 1048567 KB


How many milibites equals a kigabite?

1 kilobyte (KB) is equal to 1,000 bytes, whereas 1 megabyte (MB) is equal to 1,000 kilobytes, and 1 gigabyte (GB) is equal to 1,000 megabytes. Therefore, there are 1 million (1,000,000) bytes in a gigabyte.


What comes after a TB?

PB or petabyte which is 1024TB or 1000TB depending what you are talking about. I believe the question is on Hard disk Space, hence, it starts with a Byte (byte) Kilobyte (KB) = 1024 Bytes Megabyte (MB) = 1024 KB Gigabyte (GB) = 1024 MB Terabyte (TB) = 1024 GB Petabyte (PB) = 1024 TB Exabyte (EB) = 1024 PB Zettabyte (ZB) = 1024 EB Yottabyte (YB) = 1024 ZB Keep multiplying by 1024 to get the next unit.

What is larger kilobyte megabyte terabyte or gigabyte?

A bit is a binary digit. A bit has only two states, off or on. We denote these states with the numeric symbols 0 and 1. A byte is a group of bits, typically 8 bits in length. A byte is also the smallest unit of storage in a computer's memory, each of which has a unique address. A kilobyte (KB) is 2^10 bytes which is 1,024 bytes. A megabyte (MB) is 2^20 bytes which is 1,048,576 bytes or 1,024 KB. A gigabyte (GB) is 2^30 bytes which is 1,073,741,824 bytes or 1,024 MB. A terabyte (TB) is 2^40 bytes which is 1,099,511,627,776 bytes or 1,024 GB. Source: JEDEC memory standards

Is 1000 KB equal to 1 GB?

No, 1000 KB is not equal to 1 GB. In data storage, 1 kilobyte (KB) is equal to 1024 bytes, 1 megabyte (MB) is equal to 1024 KB, and 1 gigabyte (GB) is equal to 1024 MB. Therefore, 1000 KB is actually equal to 0.9765625 MB, which is not the same as 1 GB.


What the bigger KB or MB?

MB. 1,024 Bytes = 1 KB or Kilobyte 1,024 KB = 1 MB or Megabyte 1,024 MB = 1 GB or Gigabyte. It's that simple.
