File Sizes Bits and Bytes

File Sizes Bit- The smallest unit in computing. It can have a value of 1 or 0. You'd be hard pressed to find a file size listed in bits. Byte - A (still small) unit of information made up of 8 bits. Kilobyte(KB) - A unit of approximately 1000 bytes (1024 to be exact). Most download sites use kilobytes when they give file sizes. Megabyte (MB) - A unit of approximately one million bytes (1,024 KB). Gigabyte (GB) - Approximately 1 billion bytes (1024 MB). Most hard drive sizes are listed in gigabytes.

Putting in Perspective Bit - Let's call this a regular sized marble. Byte - Compared to the marble, this would be a baseball. Kilobyte - Now we jump up to a pickup truck size. Megabyte - Now for the leap - this would be a medium sized sky scraper. Gigabyte - Take 1024 of the medium sized sky scrapers and stick them together for this one!

To see the size of a file, right click it (in Explorer or My Computer) and select Properties.

Practical Application of File Sizes 3 1/2" floppy drive holds 1.44 Megabytes (1,474 KB). A CD Rom holds 650 Megabytes (though most programs you get don't utilize the whole 650). This would be around 450 of those 3.5 floppies. A 20 Gig hard drive will hold the same amount of info as 31 CD ROMs or 14,222 of the 3.5 floppy disks. It takes between 7-10 minutes to download a one megabyte (1024 KB) file using the average dial up interent connection. A typical page of text is around 4KB.
