When a laptop specification advertises 16 GB of RAM, to what approximate number of bytes does a single gigabyte correspond as the term is used by most storage and memory manufacturers?
About 1 billion bytes
About 1 trillion bytes
About 1 024 bytes
About 1 million bytes
Manufacturers typically follow the decimal (base-10) definition standardized by the International System of Units, in which the prefix giga- means 10^9. Therefore, one gigabyte equals 1 000 000 000 bytes-about one billion bytes. The other options match the approximate sizes for a kilobyte (about 1 024 bytes), a megabyte (about one million bytes), and a terabyte (about one trillion bytes).
