UNITS OF MEMORY STORAGE


  •  4 bits = 1 nibble
  •  8 bits = 1 byte
  • 1024 byte = 1 kilobyte (KB)
  • 1024 kilobyte = 1 megabyte (MB)
  • 1024 megabyte = 1 gigabyte (GB)
  • 1024 gigabyte = 1 terabyte (TB)


Examples: Convert the following into their byte equivalents:
i.  240 KB
= 240 X 1024 bytes.

ii. 4.2 GB
= 4.2 X 1024 MB
= 4.2 X 1024 X 1024 KB
= 4.2 X 1024 X 1024 X 1024 bytes

iii. 1.44 MB
= 1.44 X 1024 KB
= 1.44 X 1024 X 1024 bytes

iv. 20 GB
= 20 X 1024 MB
= 20 X 1024 X 1024 KB
= 20 X 1024 X 1024 X 1024 bytes

v.  10 TB
= 10 X 1024 GB
= 10 X 1024 X 1024 MB
= 10 X 1024 X 1024 X 1024 KB

= 10 X 1024 X 1024 X 1024 X 1024 bytes

vi.  1.2 MB
= 1.2 X 1024 KB
= 1.2 X 1024 X 1024 bytes
