Gigabyte (10^9 Bytes)

A gigabyte (GB) is a unit of digital information equal to 1,000,000,000 bytes (10^9 bytes).

History/Origin

The gigabyte was introduced as part of the decimal system of data measurement, aligning with SI prefixes, to standardize data sizes. It became widely adopted with the rise of digital storage devices in the late 20th century.

Current Use

Gigabytes are commonly used to measure data storage capacity in computers, smartphones, and other digital devices, as well as data transfer rates and file sizes in various applications.


Megabyte

A megabyte (MB) is a unit of digital information equal to 1,048,576 bytes or 10^6 bytes in decimal notation, commonly used to measure data storage capacity.

History/Origin

The term 'megabyte' originated in the 1960s with the advent of computer storage and data measurement. Initially, it was based on powers of two (1,048,576 bytes), but in the late 20th century, it also came to be used in decimal form (1,000,000 bytes) for marketing storage devices.

Current Use

Today, megabytes are used to quantify data sizes in computing, such as file sizes, storage capacities, and data transfer rates. The binary definition (1,048,576 bytes) is often used in computing contexts, while the decimal definition (1,000,000 bytes) is common in marketing and consumer electronics.
