what is the difference between gigabites and killobites?

They are all measures of capacity storage measurement in computers and refer to the quantity of bytes.

kilobyte (kB) 10^3 bytes

gigabyte (GB) 10^9 bytes

General Scale:

Size Approximate storage capacity

1 Byte A single character

10 Bytes A word or two

100 Bytes A sentence or two

1 kB A very short story

10 kB An encyclopedia page

100 kB A medium-resolution photograph

1 MB A short novel

10 MB Two copies of the complete works of Shakespeare

100 MB 1 meter of shelved books

1 GB a pickup truck filled with pages of text

1 TB 50,000 trees of paper

10 TB The printed collection of the U.S. Library of Congress

Good luck, 1 gigabite = 1000 megabites

1 megabite = 1000 kilobites

u do the calculas :D gagabytes are bigger. In computers information is represented by a sequence of 0's and 1's. Based on the order of the 0's and 1's the computer figures out what its operator is trying to tell it to do.

A string of 8 0's and 1's is called a Byte.

A string of 1024 Bytes is called a KiloByte (Kilo=1000)

and a string of a 1024 Kilobytes GigaByte.

the reason that it is 1024 and not just 1000, is because in computers everything is done raised to the power of 2. two million
