Memory units

It is very important that this is known and understood; Memory units are used in measuring the storage capacity of computer storage devices.
They are as follows;
1 bit (a binary digit i.e 0 or 1)
8 bits = 1 byte 1024 bytes = 1 kilobyte(KB)
1024 kilobytes = 1 megabyte(MB)
1024 megabytes = 1 gigabyte(GB)
1024 gigabytes = 1 terabyte(TB)
1024 terabytes = 1 petabyte(PB)

Sizes in "bytes" Kilobyte (KB) = 1,024
Megabyte (MB) = 1,048,576
Gigabyte (GB) = 1,073,741,824
Terabyte (TB) = 1,099,511,627,776
see ya!
