Is a megabyte the largest unit of measurement?
For measuring computer storage (memory), both gigabyte and terabyte are larger. See related link for more prefixes. Note that there has been some confusion with using the 'metric' prefixes with memory. Originally, a kilobyte was 1024 bytes (not 1000), and a megabyte was (1024 x 1024 = 1048,576 bytes)
Is aproxiametly one million bytes?
Almost 1 Megabyte. 1 Megabyte is a unit of computer memory or data storage capacity, equal to 1,048,576 (220) bytes.
What is the effect of increasing the number of bytes allocated to the mantissa?
The mantissa holds the bits which represent the number, increasing the number of bytes for the mantissa increases the number of bits for the mantissa and so increases the size of the number which can be accurately held, ie it increases the accuracy of the stored number.
How many bytes does the letter S take up?
The letter S uses 1 byte of memory, as do all the other ASCII characters.
Why 1024 bytes rounded to 1000 bytes?
1024 bytes is binary counting while 1000 bites is decimal counting.
