Comparing Quantities of Bytes Flashcards

All 2 cards in this deck

How do you convert a quantity of bytes to the next smaller unit?
e.g. convert 3 GB into MB

Multiply by 1,000 (to go to a larger unit, divide by 1,000).
e.g. $3 \times 1000 = 3000$, so 3 GB is 3,000 MB.

How do you compare two quantities of data given in different units?
e.g. 2,500 kB and 3 MB

Convert both to the same unit first, then compare.
e.g. 2,500 kB is 2.5 MB, so 3 MB is larger.
