How many kilobytes are in a gigabyte?

Thanks

  1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilobyte  multiply and copy the data to a post-it.


  2. Kilobytes :

    - 1,024 bytes - This unit is used when expressing quantities which are based on powers of two, such as memory chip capacities. Most software also expresses storage capacity in units of 1024 bytes. Although the use of kilobyte for this unit is common, this usage has been expressly forbidden by the SI standard[1] and other standards organisations. To indicate a quantity of 1024 bytes, the term kibibyte (KiB) has been recommended instead.

    - 1,000 bytes - This definition is recommended for all uses by international standards organizations such as IEC, IEEE, and ISO, with the abbreviation "kB". This unit is common for quantities which are not based on powers of two, such as bitrates. This term is starting to be adopted by some software, such as the Linux kernel.

    Gigabytes :

    - 1,000,000,000 bytes (or 1000 Kilobytes ) - used in telecommunications (such as network speeds) and most computer storage manufacturers (such as hard disks and flash drives).

    - 1,073,741,824 bytes - commonly used for computer memory and file sizes.


  3. 1024 Bytes = 1 Kbyte

    1024 Kbytes = 1 Mbyte

    1024 Mbytes = 1 Gbyte

  4. It's all in thousands

    1000 bytes in KB

    1000 KB in MB

    1000 MB in GB
