Bytes, Kilobytes, Megabytes, Gigabytes, Terabytes...?
What is their conversion to each other? Where can I find it (that is if you haven't given it to me by answering this, lmao!!) I know I have them in order, from least to greatest... I'm just not entirely aware of the values of each.
Thank you for your assistance... D'oh!!!

1 bit = a 1 or a 0
1 BYTE = 8 BITS
1 Kilobyte = 1024 bytes (Binary closest to 1000)
1 Megabyte = 1024 Kilobytes = 1048576 Bytes
1 Gigabyte = 1024 Megabytes = 1048576 Kilobytes = 1073741824 Bytes
Do the next step youself
Also 1 "nibble" = 4 bits or half a bytes, but not now in common use

8 bit =1 byte
1024 bytes = 1 kilobyte
1024 kilobytes =1 megabytes
1024 megabytes = 1 gigabytes
1024 gigabytes = 1 terabytes
1024 terabytes = 1 perabytes

--> UNDERSTANDING GIGABYTES
When people buy computers, they're told they're getting a hard drive of
a certain size--80 gigabytes, perhaps. But when they check the computer
they find only 74GB. Where did the other 6GB go?
This is the difference between marketing and math. As far as marketers
are concerned, 80 billion bytes is 80GB. But it's not. A gigabyte is
1.074 billion bytes (2 to the power of 30). If you divide 80 by 1.074,
you'll get 74.6. That's the true number of gigabytes.
These round numbers are fairly easy to remember. A kilobyte is 2 to
the power of 10 (or 2^10), a megabyte is 2^20, and a terabyte (1.0995
trillion bytes!) is 2^40.
Few people are going to fill up that so-called 80GB drive, regardless
of the stated size. Still, I wish marketers were more honest about
hard drive sizes. It should be easy to understand what you're
really getting.

Byte = 8 bits
Kilobyte = 1000 Byte
Megabyte =1000 Kilobytes
Gigabyte = 1000 Kilobytes
Terabytes = 1000 Gigabytes
Note to be exact Megabyte =1024 Kilobytes, you calculate but they figure them by thousands .

8 bits = 1 Byte, 1024 Byte = I Mega Byte, 1024 Mega Byte = 1 Gigabyte & 1024 GB = 1 Tera byte

Try this:
http://www.t1shopper.com/tools/calculate/
* 1 byte = 8 bits
* 1 kilobyte (K / Kb) = 2^10 bytes = 1,024 bytes
* 1 megabyte (M / MB) = 2^20 bytes = 1,048,576 bytes
* 1 gigabyte (G / GB) = 2^30 bytes = 1,073,741,824 bytes
* 1 terabyte (T / TB) = 2^40 bytes = 1,099,511,627,776 bytes
* 1 petabyte (P / PB) = 2^50 bytes = 1,125,899,906,842,624 bytes
* 1 exabyte (E / EB) = 2^60 bytes = 1,152,921,504,606,846,976 bytes

for ease of use the standard in sales is x1000
so 1000 MB is a GB and 1000 gb is a TB
tho the actual scale is 1024 (a nicer binary value)
so 1024 MB is a GB... ect....
you also missed Bits, smaller then Bytes, and there are 8 Bits per byte :)

kilobyte=1024bytes
GB=1024MB
TB=1024GB etc.
Good Luck!
