I saw some people arguing over how large a gigabyte is. Its 1024, not 1000. The reason for that is that computers use binary numbers (as you may know, 0's and 1's) however, most people use decimal, or base 10 numbers. To us humans increments like 10, 100, 1000 make more sense. Basically 10 to the Nth power. To computers, its the same thing but with 2. So numbers like 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512 and 1024 just make a whole lot more sense. It's simpler to keep track of 1024 in binary because it looks like 10000000000 rather than the number 1000 which looks like 1111101000.
There more you know.
TL;DR 1024 comes from 2^10

" The term "megabyte" is commonly used to mean either 1000^2 bytes or 1024^2 bytes. As 1024 (2^10) approximates 1000 (10^3), roughly corresponding SI multiples began to be used for binary multiples.
On hard drives these days we get so many gigabytes and terabytes of data that we just say 1GB = 1000 MB, when the more correct thing to say is 1 GB = 1024 MB.
So one can use either one but most people think of 1GB = 1000 MB, except computer engineers and such. But 1GB = 1024MB is the correct answer.

Fuck off, noob! That was debated an hour ago. If you go to wikipedia following that exact shitty quote in the beginning of your comment you'll find: "By the end of 2007, standards and government authorities including IEC, IEEE, EU, and NIST proposed standards for binary prefixes and requiring the use of megabyte to strictly** denote 1000^2 bytes and mebibyte to denote 1024^2 bytes**. The term remains ambiguous and it can follow any one of the following common definitions:"
The point is: there are still people who use "mega" for 1024 but they're all FUCKING WRONG.
Or do you also believe that because people write "u" instead of "you", that means "u" is also correct?

1 GB = 1000 MB
1 GiB = 1024 MiB
I get the feeling a lot of this confusion could have been avoided if Microsoft had done their homework .

SuitUp ONLINE (08/17/2012) [-] Except it makes no sense whatsoever to try and force the scientific prefix interpretation over standard, common usage.
1GB is 1024MB for binary purposes (Powers of 2). The Giga prefix is used because it is the closest one that is meaningful and the margin of error is tiny.

The comment section is a fucking joke, you guys really need to learn how to use google.
