It goes in the order of

One Bit

One Byte

Kilobits

Kilobytes

Megabits

Megabytes

Gigabits

Gigabytes



The comparison of how many in each is as follows





One Bit = 0 or 1

One Byte = 8 bits

Kilobit = 1000 bits

Kilobyte (binary) = 1024 bytes

Kilobyte (decimal) = 1000 bytes

Megabit = 1000 kilobits

Megabyte = 1024 Kilobytes

Megabyte (decimal) = 1000 Kilobytes

Gigabit = 1000 Megabits

Gigabyte (binary) = 1024 Megabytes

Gigabyte (decimal) = 1000 Megabytes



The reason there are binary and decimal values is because binary is multiples and exactly numbers don't fit into the kilobytes and megabytes and so forth, so they round the nearest number down and call it a mega/kilo/giga byte.

gb of course....check this out



kilobyte kB 210 (103) kibibyte KiB 210

megabyte MB 220 (106) mebibyte MiB 220

gigabyte GB 230 (109) gibibyte GiB 230

terabyte TB 240 (1012) tebibyte TiB 240

petabyte PB 250 (1015) pebibyte PiB 250

exabyte EB 260 (1018) exbibyte EiB 260

zettabyte ZB 270 (1021) zebibyte ZiB 270

yottabyte YB 280 (1024) yobibyte YiB 280

1 Tera Byte = 1024 Giga Byte

1 Giga Byte = 1024 Mega Byte

1 Mega Byte = 1024 Kilo Byte

1 Kilo Byte = 1024 Bytes

1 Byte = 8 bits

1 bit = 0 , 1 mean on or off

Kb: 1024 bytes

Mb: 1024x1024 Kb

Gb: 1024x1024 Mb

Check Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilobyte

particularly that table on the right: it has all the sizes.

1 B = 8 BITS

KB = 1024 B

MB = 1024 KB

GB = 1024 MB

TB = 1024 GB

DID YOU GOT THIS

b denotes bits



B denotes bytes
