Frequently Asked Questions
Which is larger: KB or MB?
MB (Megabyte) is larger than KB (Kilobyte). 1 MB equals 1,024 KB. This means that 1 MB is 1,024 times larger than 1 KB. For example, a 5 MB file is equivalent to 5,120 KB.
How many bytes are in 1 GB?
1 GB (Gigabyte) contains 1,073,741,824 bytes. This is calculated as 1,024 × 1,024 × 1,024 bytes, following the binary system used in computing.
What is the difference between KB and KiB?
KB (Kilobyte) uses decimal system (1,000 bytes) while KiB (Kibibyte) uses binary system (1,024 bytes). Most file systems and operating systems use the binary system, so KB typically means 1,024 bytes in computing contexts.
How do I convert TB to GB?
To convert TB to GB, multiply by 1,024. For example, 2 TB = 2,048 GB. This is because 1 TB = 1,024 GB in the binary system used by computers.
What file size units are commonly used?
Common file size units include: Bytes (smallest), KB (Kilobytes), MB (Megabytes), GB (Gigabytes), TB (Terabytes), and PB (Petabytes). Each unit is 1,024 times larger than the previous one in the binary system.
Is MB bigger than GB? Which is larger: MB or GB?
GB (Gigabyte) is bigger and larger than MB (Megabyte). 1 GB equals 1,024 MB, making GB 1,024 times bigger than MB. For example, a 2 GB file is equivalent to 2,048 MB. GB is the larger unit for measuring bigger file sizes and storage capacity.
