"gig..." means a billion of something, or 10^9. In binary hardware, it's actually 1,073,741,824 bytes. That's 2^30.

Answer: 1 gigabyte of a computer drive can hold of about
10^9 bytes.

Explanation: We are given an external computer flash drive which can hold a data of about 1 gigabyte.

We know that,

1 gigabyte contains 1000 Megabytes of data

and 1 megabyte of a data can hold of about 1 million bytes.

From the above conversion, we get


1GB=(1000* 10^6)bytes=10^9bytes
