The capacity of any storage device is counted in
bytes.Butwedonotwanttowritedownsome-
thinglike1000000000bytes.Wewrite1Giga-
byte,andtheshorthandis1GB.Thisiscalculat-
ed in a way that everyone knows.
“Giga”is10003, so 1000000000 / 10003= 1.
However, computers work in binary and work with
“Giga”is10243.Suddenly1.0Gigabyteisthe
sameas0.93Gigabyte.Thatcannotberight.We
are using the same name for a different “unit” of
counting.

1GB=1x10003= 1000000000 bytes, and
