Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between MB and GB?
One gigabyte (GB) equals 1,024 megabytes (MB) in binary (computing) terms. This is because computers use base-2, where 1 GB = 2^30 bytes and 1 MB = 2^20 bytes.
Why is 1 KB equal to 1024 bytes instead of 1000?
In computing, storage is measured in powers of 2. 1 KB equals 2^10 = 1,024 bytes. This binary system aligns with how computer memory is physically organized.
How many GB are in 1 TB?
One terabyte (TB) equals 1,024 gigabytes (GB) in binary terms. In decimal (marketing) terms, manufacturers sometimes use 1 TB = 1,000 GB.
