How many megabytes dose it take to make five gigabytes?

In computers 1 gb is equal to 1024 mb so you need 5*1024mb=5120mb to make 5 gb Extra info But when a hard disk manufacturer claims that a product has 500 gb means that has 500*1000^3=500,000,000,000 bytes not 500*1024^3= 536870912000 bytes. So dividing 500,000,000,000 by 1024^3 the result is 488281250 kb or 476837,2 mb or 465,6 gb because: 1 tera (t) ->1000 giga (g) ->1024 giga (g) in computers 1 giga (g) ->1000 mega (m)->1024 mega (m) in computers 1 mega (m) ->1000 kilo (k)->1024 kilo (k) in computers 1 kilo (k) ->1000 ->1024 in computers In computers 1 gb is equal to 1024 mb so you need 5*1024mb=5120mb to make 5 gb Extra info But when a hard disk manufacturer claims that a product has 500 gb means that has 500*1000^3=500,000,000,000 bytes not 500*1024^3= 536870912000 bytes. So dividing 500,000,000,000 by 1024^3 the result is 488281250 kb or 476837,2 mb or 465,6 gb because: 1 tera (t) ->1000 giga (g) ->1024 giga (g) in computers 1 giga (g) ->1000 mega (m)->1024 mega (m) in computers 1 mega (m) ->1000 kilo (k)->1024 kilo (k) in computers 1 kilo (k) ->1000 ->1024 in computers

What is larger giga hertz or mega hertz?

well the list of prefixes are as following in the "10 system" (metric length and so on) deka- hecto- kilo- giga- tera- peta- exa- zetta- yotta- In the binary system (bytes, hertz) deka and hecto are not used. So after gigahertz is terahertz then petahertz and so on Only missed "mega-" in the listed base 10 order of power. It goes ...kilo- mega- giga-... deka = 10 hecto = 100 kilo = 1,000 mega = 1,000,000 giga = 1,000,000,000 tera = 1,000,000,000,000 etc.

What is 8 mega ohms equal to in kilo ohms?

Mega is 8 X 10^6 and Kilo is 8000 X 10^3. For every 3 you go down in powers you divide by 1000, so 8 Mega ohms is 8,000,000 ohms. 8,000 Kilo ohms or 0.008 Giga ohms.
