International Standard (or International System of Units)
It goes like this: kilo, mega, giga. We use kilo for 103, mega for 106 and giga for 109.
Tera represents 10^12, giga represents 10^9, mega represents 10^6, kilo represents 10^3, hecto represents 10^2, and deca represents 10. These prefixes are used to indicate multiples of 10 in the International System of Units (SI).
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
Mega, kilo, milli, and micro are prefixes used in the metric system to denote multiples or fractions of a base unit. Mega represents one million, kilo represents one thousand, milli represents one thousandth, and micro represents one millionth.
A billion watts. A watt is one amp at one volt.
It goes like this: kilo, mega, giga. We use kilo for 103, mega for 106 and giga for 109.
No, it is 1 billion. Remember, you have kilo, mega then giga
Three measurements larger than kilo are mega, giga, and tera. Mega is equivalent to one million, giga is one billion, and tera is one trillion.
These are all units for indicating size of digital memory or information bits. GB - Giga Byte MB - Mega Byte KB - Kilo Byte Gb - Giga bit Mb - Mega bit Kb - Kilo bit 1 Byte = 8 bits 1 Giga = 1000 Mega 1 Mega = 1000 Kilo
. . 1 Tera is 1000 Giga 1 Giga is 1000 Mega 1 Mega is 1000 Kilo 1 Kilo is 1000 mili 1 mili is 1000 micro 1 micro is 1000 nano . .
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.
It's not a question of "better", only of bigger. Giga is a lot bigger than mega.
bit- byte- kilo- mega- giga- tera- peta- exa- zetta- yotta-
it means billions Mega means Millions Kilo means thousands
kilo byte mega byte giga byte
8 bits - 1 byte 1024 Bytes - 1 Kilo Byte 1024 Kilo Bytes - 1 Mega Byte 1024 Mega Bytes - 1 Giga Bytes
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.
