kB (kilobytes) is usually taken to mean 1024 bytes, even though the prefix "kilo" has a different meaning (exactly 1000) in physics.

What is term bytes?

Bytes are units of digital information that are commonly used to measure the size of files or the amount of data stored in a computer. One byte is equal to 8 bits, and it is often used to represent a single character of text. Bytes are a fundamental building block for storing and processing data in computers.


How many bytes equal 1GB?

To begin, a GB, also known as a Gig, is the abbreviation of the word Gigabyte. A byte is a basic unit of measurement of information storage in computer science. Giga is a prefix in the SI system of units denoting 109, or 1,000,000,000. That being said, 1GB can be reffered to as being equal to 1,000,000,000 bytes. However, the exact amount is 1,073,741,824 bytes. One gigabyte contains 1,073,741,824 bytes. (1024 * 1024 * 1024)


What is the sizeof long int?

The sizeof long int is platform-dependent, often 4 bytes or 8 bytes.


What term describe one trillion bytes?

One trillion bytes is commonly referred to as a "terabyte," abbreviated as TB. This unit of measurement is often used to quantify data storage capacity in computers and digital devices. In binary terms, a terabyte is equal to 1,024 gigabytes (GB).


What is 1000 b?

"1000 b" typically refers to 1000 bytes, which is a unit of digital information storage. In computing, 1 kilobyte (KB) is often defined as 1024 bytes, so 1000 bytes is slightly less than one kilobyte. It can also denote 1000 bits, where 8 bits equal 1 byte, making it 125 bytes. The context determines the exact meaning, so clarification may be needed.


How many bytes are in a 2 megabyte?

The prefix mega usually means million, which would put the translation of 2 megabyte to equal 2 million bytes. However, mega is often "misused" in computer science and generally translate according to 1 megabyte = 1024 kilobyte. Kilo itself -- which actually means thousand -- is "misused" in the same manner, where 1 kilobyte = 1024 bytes.As of this, 1 megabyte = 1024 × 1024 bytes = 1048576 bytes.


Does a terabyte represent a trillion characters?

Slightly more - about 10% more. The prefix "Tera", when used for data storage, is often not defined as exactly 10004, but rather it is rounded to 10244. ("Rounded", because 1024 is a power of 2.)
