Is 5 gigabytes larger than 1 megabit?

Answer 1

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!!!
