How much data can you put in 1 GB?

Answer 1

1 gigabyte equals 1000 megabytes, 1 megabyte equals 1000 kilobytes, and 1 kilobyte equals 1000 bytes.

To give you some idea of the storage potential, a byte is used to store a character of text. If a line is 50 characters then a 1000 bytes is 20 lines of text, if a page is 50 lines, then 2500 bytes is a page and so a megabyte is 400 pages of text or a long book. So you can store a library of 1000 long books without pictures on a GB storage unit.

Pictures require far more storage space. The amount needed depends on the size and resolution. You can put 1000 one MB picture on a 1 GB unit. Movies are frames of pictures and require vastly more storage and audio adds to the storage requirements.

Answer 2

1024 Mega Bytes or 1048576 Bytes.
