Visitor Question or Comment:
How many bits are in a kilobyte, a megabyte, and a gigabyte?
Thank you
Response from ALEGSA.com.ar:
It is simple. 1 bit is the most basic unit that a computer handles.
8 bits constitute 1 byte.
1024 bytes constitute 1 kilobyte. Therefore, 8 x 1024 = 8192 bits make up a kilobyte.
So 1 megabyte is 1,048,576 bytes: 1,048,576 x 8 = 8,388,608 bits is 1 megabyte (MB).
Finally 1 GB is 1,073,741,824, multiplied by 8, is 8,589,934,592 bits.
I recommend you review this article:
