5 Gigabytes is MUCH bigger.

8 megabits go into a MB and 1024 MB go into a GB

Bits and Bytes:

Keeping it nice and simple....

There are 8 bits in 1 byte!

More if you want it...

# Historically, a byte was the number of bits used to encode a single character of text in a computer.and for this reason it is the basic addressable element in many computer architectures.

#The size of the byte has historically been hardware dependent and no definitive standards existed that mandated the size.

#The de facto standard of eight bits is a convenient power of two permitting the values 0 through 255 for one byte.

#Don't get confused between decimal and binary interpretations of bits and bytes...

Software and computer industries usually use binary as above, but producers of computer storage devices often use a decimal system and will tell you that there are 1000MB in 1GB!!!

What is 1 GB as compared to 1 mbps?

The two are not direclty related. GB (with an uppercase "B") would be "gigabyte"; that's a unit of storage space, Gb (lowercase "b") would be "gigabit" - another unit of storage, but 8 times smaller than the first. On the other hand, mbps (megabit per second) is a unit of bandwidth - how fast data is transferred.

How much MB is 111.8 gig?

Your answer can mean two things since your abbreviation is wrong. It is 0.115234375 gigabits if you meant 118 megabits. It is 0.115234375 gigabytes if you meant 118 megabytes. Mb or Mbit is the abbreviation for megabit which equals to 10^6 bits (or 1,000,000 bits). MB or Mbyte is the abbreviation for megabyte which equals to 2^20 bytes (or 21,048,576 bytes). To put into prospective: 8 bits is a byte. To answer your question: 1 gigabit = 1024 megabit 1 gigabyte = 1024 megabyte 118 (Mb) / 1024 (# of Mb in a Gb) = 0.115234375 (Gb) 118 (MB) / 1024 (# of MB in a GB) = 0.115234375 (GB)
