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

Answer with explanation:

We know that bit is the smallest unit.

Then comes the byte and then

We know that:

• 1 Kilobyte(KB)= 1024 bytes=1024×1 byte

• 1 megabyte(MB)=1024×1024=1048576 bytes=1024×1 kilobyte

and 1 gigabyte(GB)=1073741824 bytes=1024×1 megabyte

• This means that the number of times storage capacity of a 1-gigabyte flash drive than a 1-megabyte flash drive is: 1024 times

( since, each of the unit is greater than the previous unit by 1024 times )

Answer 2

In computing, an octet is an 8-bit byte encoding information1. In this coding system, based on the binary system, a byte makes it possible to represent 28 numbers, ie 256 different values. One byte can be used to encode numeric values or up to 256 different characters.
The term is commonly used as a unit of measure in computer science (symbol: o) to indicate the storage capacity of memories (RAM or dead memory, capacity of USB keys or disks, etc.). For this purpose, octet multiples such as kilobyte (KB) or megabyte (MB) are commonly used.
This unit also quantifies the speed of information transfer in bytes per second.
