Thread: Help with Math...

I'm not the best at math so i need some help.

How many bytes are there in 2GB?

I know 1024 bytes are in 1KB but help me understand how to calculate this.

32x32=1024

Is it by powers? : (1024^3)*2 = the number I want or what???

Yes.
1 GB = 1024^3 bytes = 1073741824 bytes

Thank you sir..

But if you ask the harddrive manufacturers:
1 GB = 1000^3 bytes = 1000000000 bytes

My question was for a drive I was partitioning. I partioned it at 2000MB for 2Gb but that was only 1.95GB according to windows.

so next time I'll partition 2048MB's.
