Detailed explanation-1: -Detailed Solution. The size of information in the computer is measured in Kilobytes (KB), Megabytes (MB), Gigabytes (GB), and Terabytes (TB). One Megabyte (MB) is about 1 million bytes (or about 1024 Kilobytes (KB)). One Gigabyte (GB) is about 1 billion bytes, or (1024 Megabytes MB).
Detailed explanation-2: -One megabyte (MB) is made up of 1, 024 kilobytes (KB). The next measurement up is a gigabyte (GB), which is made up of 1024MB.
Detailed explanation-3: -A gigabyte is equivalent to the following standard measurements: 1, 000 megabytes (decimal) or 1, 024 megabytes (binary); 1, 000, 000 kilobytes (decimal) or 1, 048, 576 kilobytes (binary); and. 1, 000, 000, 000 bytes (decimal) or 1, 073, 741, 824 bytes (binary).
Detailed explanation-4: -1MB is 1, 024 kilobytes, or 1, 048, 576 (1024x1024) bytes, not one million bytes. Similarly, one 1GB is 1, 024MB, or 1, 073, 741, 824 (1024x1024x1024) bytes.
