Question

There are bytes in a gigabyte. There are bytes in a megabyte. How many times greater is the storage capacity of a 1-gigabyte flash drive than a 1-megabyte flash drive?

Answer 1

"1,000 times greater"

Explanation:

We will do the calculation in BYTES.

We want to figure out HOW MANY TIMES GREATER is 1 Gigabyte than 1 Megabyte.

1 Gigabyte (GB) = 10^9 Bytes

1 Megabyte (MB) = 10^6 Bytes

So, how many times is 10^9 is of 10^6? We just need to divide 10^9 by 10^6.

`(10^9)/(10^6)=(1000000000)/(1000000)=1000`

So, 1 GB is 1000 times greater than 1 MB.

Answer 2

1000 times greater

Explanation:

1 gigabyte = 1000000000 bytes

1 mega byte = 1000000 bytes

Therefore;

1 gigabyte = 1000 megabyte

Thus;

The storage capacity of 1 gigabyte is 1000 times greater than a flash drive with a capacity of 1 megabyte
