How much mb is 0.5 GB?

approx 100mb

In the context of computers, the prefixes K, M, G and T work on powers of 1024, not 1000. 1GB = 1024MB, so 0.1GB ≈ 102MB.

If I have 700 MB how many GB is that?

There are less than one gb in 702mb because you need a 1000MB to make 1 GB.

BUT

{{Technically, there are 0.68555 gb in 702 mb}}

using the chart below

1 Byte = 8 Bit

1 Kilobyte = 1024 Bytes

1 Megabyte = 1048576 Bytes

1 Gigabyte = 1073741824 Bytes

What are the Two major categories of computer software?

There are two main categories of software:

1. System Software

2. Application Software

1. System Software include OS systems (Windows, Linux, Unix etc), drivers, daemons etc.

2. Application software include MS Office (MS word, MS excel etc), paint, games,

Hope to answer the question.

7536 MB is how much gb?

7536 mb is approximately 7GB and 35MB because one gigabyte is equal to 1024 megabytes.

How many MB are on a 4.7 GB DVD?

A little under 4,700 MB. The disc needs some space for the finalization process.

How many gb are in 750 mb?

1024 megabytes equals 1 gigabyte, so 750 megabytes equal about 3/4 of a gigabyte.

Christian words that start with N?

No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it. 1 Corinthians 10:13

How many mb in 1.60 gb?

I'm assuming you are referring to Bytes so...1638.4 MegaBytes in 1.60 GigaBytes, although you put the abbreviations in lowercase which usually indicates Bits instead of Bytes so just in case...

1.6 GigaBytes = 13107.2 megabits
1.6 gigabits = 1638.4 megabits
1.6 gigabits = 204.8 MegaBytes

What does Mac mean in computer terms?

A mac is another computer. They say they cant get viruses. Mostly this is true, however when Mac's gained in popularity, people, sadly, did create viruses. If you didnt want a virus, Apple is the way to go. It is much more likely to get a virus (trojan, malware, adware, ect.) on a Windows/PC than an Apple. It is possible, but not likely.

How do you recover your deleted files from a Wii?

Ok, I deleted my Wii's mario game file, but you can't retrive it. However, if you find someone who has a higher level/close to you, you can switch files, or copy. In Super Mario Galaxy 2, I used my deleted file for my brother's, and I used my brother's and put my face on it. So now my brother has the one with 0 stars but you can do that, if that helps.

What is a patch?

A patch is nothing more than a file which fixes something that the original software neglected to do in the first place. Think of it as a fixit file for things that should have worked in the first place.

What is 8 GB?

GB is the abbreviation for gigabytes, a measure of computer data size. A gigabyte is defined as 10^9 bytes (1,000,000,000 bytes). Gigabytes are often confused with 'gibibytes', a term used in computer science that represents 2^30 bytes (1,073,741,824 bytes). While gibibyte more accurately represents the data capacity of RAM memory or a storage device, gigabyte is more conventionally used because it is decimal, and therefore more easily understood by people who are not computer scientists.


8 Gigabytes = 8,000,000,000 bytes
8 Gibibytes = 8,589,934,592 bytes

How many MB is in 4.14 GB?

4360 technically

However, 4.36GB as it is reported on most computers (Windows) is equal to 4.7GB in storage capacity as it is used by disc manufacturers (This is also the more technically correct, albeit misleading measurement)

Based on the size provided, 4.36 GB, I will assume we are talking about blank recordable DVD discs or movies meant to fit on them. This isn't something that can be easily explained quickly, but in short, there are 2 main, and very similar, measurement units used for information storage and delivery (and others used slightly less often):

Gigabyte or GB

Gibibyte or GiB

Gigabit or Gb

Gibibit or Gib

Notice the capitalization, as it is often the only information given. For now, the only two units that matter are the first two, gigabyte (GB) and gibibyte (GiB), because these are the two that are used for DVD capacity, in general.

Blank DVD-R: roughly 4,700,000 bytes, or 4.7 Gigabytes (GB). (This would be the official international standard and what is used by DVD-R manufacturers)

Blank DVD-R: roughly 4,700,000 bytes, or 4.36 Gibibytes, (GiB). (Most computers still report this measurement as "GB" even though it should be "GiB" technically. This isn't new, this is the way it has been used for decades in the IT and computer world, even if it is technically wrong.)

It should be noted that most of the confusion has come from the storage device manufacturers returning to the official definition of GB (gigabyte), presumably so they can advertise a greater storage capacity, while they know perfectly well that the average consumer will think they are buying a larger storage device than they actually are.

The measurements for the units are:

How many MB in 20 GB?

20Gb can hold aprx 6000 photo's (medium size)

or 20 can hold aprx 4000 pictures.

How many MB so it can be one GB?

1024mb in 1 gb!!

Thought everyone knew that?

Its because computers work in base 2 (e.g 01010101) whereas humans calculate using base 10.

What are the output devices?

An output device is any piece of computer hardware equipment used to communicate the results of data processing carried out by an information processing system (such as acomputer) to the outside world.

In computing, input/output, or I/O, refers to the communication between an information processing system (such as a computer), and the outside world. Inputs are the signals or data sent to the system, and outputs are the signals or data sent by the system to the outside.

Basically, output devices are devices that carry the result out of a system.

Examples:

  • a monitor displays the graphic interface
  • a printer prints out the documents or images
  • a speaker carries out the sound
  • Headphones
  • Vibration
  • LED lights

If input devices input the information into a system (e.g. a keyboard, a mouse) then output devices outputs the processed information out of a system (e.g. a monitor, a printer).
