Gigabyte or Gibibyte (1000 or 1024)?
问题 This may be a duplicate and I apologies if that is so but I really want a definitive answer as that seems to change depending upon where I look. Is it acceptable to say that a gigabyte is 1024 megabytes or should it be said that it is 1000 megabytes? I am taking computer science at GCSE and a typical exam question could be how many bytes in a kilobyte and I believe the exam board, AQA, has the answer for such a question as 1024 not 1000. How is this? Are both correct? Which one should I go
