Detailed explanation-1: -This definition is synonymous with the unambiguous binary unit mebibyte. In this convention, one thousand and twenty-four megabytes (1024 MB) is equal to one gigabyte (1 GB), where 1 GB is 10243 bytes (i.e., 1 GiB).
Detailed explanation-2: -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). One Terabyte (TB) is about roughly 1 trillion bytes or 1024 gigabytes (GB).
Detailed explanation-3: -Data capacity measurements that are larger than a gigabyte include the following: A terabyte is equal to 1, 000 gigabytes (decimal) or 1, 024 gigabytes (binary). A petabyte is equal to 1, 000, 000 gigabytes (decimal) or 1, 048, 576 gigabytes (binary).
Detailed explanation-4: -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. However, the prefix “kilo” means 1000, and not 1024, and the same reasoning applies for “mega", “giga", etc.
