![]() ![]() ![]() Hard drive makers are quite sneaky, you'll notice that they define GB as being 1000 MB, and 1 MB = 1000 KB, etc. If your hard disk is 200 Gigabytes, how many bytes is that? Use a calculator with lots of digits!Ģ09715200 KB * 1024 = 214748364800 bytes! That is, a 1.0 Kilobyte file on your computer is 1024 bytes: You can group bits together into 8 bits which is 1 byte.ġ024 bytes (8192 bits) is one Kilobyte (sometimes written KB).ġ024 KB (1048576 bytes) is one Megabyte (MB)Īn interesting thing to note is while 1000 grams is a kilogram, nearly all computer systems consider 1024 bytes to be a kilobyte. Information has its own system of measurements: For example, we measure weight with "ounces" and "pounds" (or grams and kilograms) and distances with "inches," "feet," and "miles" (or centimeters, meters and kilometers). Now is a good time to review how data is measured. It's run by little ones and zeroes, little bits of data. The world isn't run by weapons anymore, or energy, or money. ![]()
