Answer:

The main distinction between a megabyte and a gigabyte is the number of bytes they contain. A megabyte is made up of 2^20 bytes (1,048,576 bytes), whereas a gigabyte is made up of 2^30 bytes (1,073,741,824 bytes). Taking this into account, a gigabyte can be made up of 2^10 megabytes (1024 megabytes).

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope this answers your question.
