I love this because I'm so tired of the hot shot cable companies and internet providers telling me that I need more data all the time especially when I haven't even been using any data. Do you have a app? The reason there are bytes in a kilobyte, and Kb in a Megabyte, and Mb in a Gigabyte, is because long ago when they first invented computers and they needed a way to address each byte in memory, they used 12 bits to hold the address number of each byte in memory.
So is byte 1, and is byte To only use bytes would have been wasteful of the addressing capability, and in those days every byte counted. Now when we work with Gigs it is not usually so important to notice that there are some extra Megs over the Mb count. Who cares, most of the time. But you must understand that even if you only count in s, and not in s, the extra ones are still there. So for example if you wanted to map 16G of memory to disk, and you had to size the disk file in M, if you sized it as 16,M, and then copied the memory to the disk file, you would fail.
Because the memory is actually Mb long. But usually we are working with rough amounts of space, not exact, so it doesn't matter. Nice data analysis had been done to understand because this is needed for B.
A student as a H. You can do the reverse unit conversion from MB to GB , or enter any two units below:. A gigabyte is a unit of information or computer storage meaning approximately 1.
This is the definition commonly used for computer memory and file sizes. Microsoft uses this definition to display hard drive sizes, as do most other operating systems and programs by default. GB is often used for indicating a size of memory or specifying a size of a movie, computer RAM , and so on. The maximum amount of information stored in a single layer DVD is usually close to 4.
ATT converted my plan to 40 gigabytes from 18megabytes. Do I now get less data? Seems like it. I have an action camera that is supported by 64mb micro card , what size card do I get when they are all marked in gb My phone is 32 GB.
Aside apps which is about 8gb,all other things are just in mb in their hundreds. About six items yet the phone says I have only 4. What has taken up space in the phone? A document which is M, how big is it exactly? There is also however, a binary definition where a gigabyte is 3 bytes. Because this can be the source of confusion, in , the International Electrotechnical Commission published standards that required the gigabyte strictly denote 3 bytes.
Prefixes to denote the byte being based on rather than were also created, with gibibyte referencing 3 bytes. Despite this effort, the gigabyte is still often used to signify either of these definitions.
