Question

A terabyte (TB) is LaTeX: 2^{40} 2 40 bytes. How many gigabytes are in a terabyte? How many megabytes are in a terabyte? How many bits are in a terabyte?

Answer 1

1 terabyte = 1 trillion bytes = 1000000000000 = 10^12

1 gigabyte = 1 billion bytes = 1000000000 = 10^9

1 megabyte = 1 million bytes = 1000000 = 10^6

1 terabyte = 1000 gigabytes

1 terabyte = 1000000 megabytes

1 byte = 8 bits, so 1 terabyte = 8 trillion bits = 8x10^12
