Can you convert MB to GB?
If soo how?
For example how many GB is 1282 MB?
Any help would be appriciated. Thanx in advance BLUEWOLF !

1.25 GB

the answer is :) 1.2519531 Gigabyte (GB)
well usually 1024 is the K unit in computers...but sometimes back i read somewhere..(sorry source no available with me)...that HDD manufacturing companies use 1000 as the measure for K in computers too....
so
1000 b = 1K
1000 K = 1M
1000 M = 1G
so by this method 1282 MB = 1.282 M
but if we use 1024 as the unit(if u are talking abt applications than HDD space) then
1024 b = 1K
1024 K = 1M
1024 M = 1G
by which u have 1.251953125 G
Thanx NullDevice. I just actually got my first lessons on computers. Your the best teacher dude...lol
Bye

do u think rounding off for such simple calculations would be fine(if we are not teaching a std 5 chap) .. i dont think so...he should have done it with 1024 only instead of 1000.Quote:

but my personal views...only
hey don't forget the most important file size that we use all the times... bits
8 bits = 1 byte
Just figure I would throw that in...

2 bits equals a quarter (LOL)
A dachsund represents a lower byte, a great dane represents the upper byte.
no dachsund, one great dane ( one Miniature Schnauzer and one 90 lbs. mix )
AND NO bites :p
There are 2 ways to convert from KB to say MB or GB. There's a binary conversion and a decimal conversion. The official SI standard dictates that K,M and G are multiples of 1000. This is also the standard harddisk manufactures use. Your computer however uses binary conversion (1024 or 2^10).
So binary conversion is:
1 GByte
1024 MByte
1048576 KByte
1073741824 Bytes
Decimal conversion (SI standard):
1 GByte
1000 MByte
1000000 KByte
1000000000 Bytes
The funny thing is that some HD manuefacturers **** with this system even in a worse way..
stealing multiple GB's off a Big Harddisk..
Actually 2bits is half a nybble.Quote:

welll 4 bits equals a nibble....
