Question

Use One megabyte is approximately 106 bytes. One gigabyte is approximately 109 bytes. How many megabytes are in one gigabyte?

Answer 1

1 megabyte

Explanation:

106 only fits into 109 one time (with a remainder of 3)

Answer 2

For this case we have to:

1 megabyte is defined as
`10 ^ 6`bytes

1 gigabyte is defined as
`10 ^ 9` bytes

We want to know how many megabytes there are in a gigabyte. For this we divide:

`\frac {10 ^ 9} {10 ^ 6}`

By power properties we have:

`\frac {10 ^ 9} {10 ^ 6} = 10 ^ {9-6} = 10 ^ 3`

So we have that in a gigabyte there is one megabyte plus one kilobyte.

Checking:

`10 ^ 6 * 10 ^ 3 = 10 ^ {6 + 3} = 10 ^ 9`

Answer:

1 megabyte
