Help With Numbers Gb Mb Kb B Please

Featured Replies

I need some basic numbers clarified please.

1000 bytes = 1 kb

1000kb = 1Mb

1000Mb = 1 GB

firstly is that right ? if not what is right.

If the above is correct then the reading on my data flow = 14,784,519

Would I be correct in saying the reading means:

14 Mb,784 Kb and 519 bytes ??

Thanks for the help understanding the numbers.

There is a difference of a factor of about 10 between kB (kilobytes) and kb (kilobits). You also have to consider whether you are using 1k=1000 (scientific speak) or 1k=1024 (computer speak). There are similar issues with Mb and Gb.

Have a look here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte to become more confused.

Your data flow is 14,784,519 somethings, probably bits/second (14Mb/s)

Just to clarify, thats the reading of bytes received, so I'm assuming I have received a total of 14mb plus a little worth of data over a period of time. Atleast it appears I am reading it correctly and its the volume not the speed, thanks guys.

14 megabytes would be shown as 14MB, the case of the characters is very important, 14mb would be an impossibly small amount of data (14 milli bits) :)
