Detailed explanation-1: -In this convention, one thousand megabytes (1000 MB) is equal to one gigabyte (1 GB), where 1 GB is one billion bytes. 1 MB = 1048576 bytes (= 10242 B = 220 B) is the definition used by Microsoft Windows in reference to computer memory, such as random-access memory (RAM).
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Currently the standard is 1 Gigabyte (GB) = 1000 Megabytes (MB). But it wasn’t always like that. For a long time, 1 Kilobyte=1024 bytes, 1 Megabyte = 1024 kilobytes, 1 Gigabyte = 1024 megabytes, and so on. The reason being the fact that it easier to do binary math when working with powers of two.
Detailed explanation-4: -1GB is approximately 1, 000MB (megabytes).
