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 does MB compare to kb compare to gb?

Quite simply, a kb is 1024 b (bits), a mb is 1024 kb, a gb is 1024 mb. You may have learned in school that kilo- means a thousand, and mega- means a million. This is basically true but needs further explanation.When referencing data, a kilobit typically is 210 (two to the tenth power), a megabit is 220, and gigabit is 230, etc., etc... Now, mB or MB (notice the caps) means megabyte which is 8 megabits; every 8 bits equals 1 byte.As far as megabytes go, 1024 bytes = 1 Kilobyte, 1024 KB = 1 MB, 1024 MB = 1 GB, etc.One byte can typically refer to one typed character (ASCII text is represented by 7 bits) and one bit is only a single 1 or 0, the basis of digital information.


How many MB are in 15 GB?

By how much is GB bigger then MB?

Generally, one gigabyte (GB) = one thousand and twenty-four megabytes (MB). 1 GB = 1024 MB So, 1 GB is 1023 MB larger than 1 MB.
