b) 1 kilobyte = 1024 bytes

c) 1 megabyte = 1024 kilobytes

d) 1 gigabyte = 1024 megabytes

e) 1 terabyte = 1024 gigabytes

Answer 2

Explanation:

• Byte (b):- Byte, the basic unit of information in computer storage and processing. A byte consists of 8 adjacent binary digits (bits), each of which consists of a 0 or 1. ... The string of bits making up a byte is processed as a unit by a computer; bytes are the smallest operable units of storage in computer technology.
• Kilobyte (kb):- The kilobyte is a multiple of the unit byte for digital information. The International System of Units defines the prefix kilo as 1000; per this definition, one kilobyte is 1000 bytes. The internationally recommended unit symbol for the kilobyte is kB. a unit of memory or data equal to 1,024 bytes.
• Megabyte (mb):- The megabyte is a multiple of the unit byte for digital information. Its recommended unit symbol is MB. The unit prefix mega is a multiplier of 1000000 in the International System of Units. Therefore, one megabyte is one million bytes of information. a unit of information equal to one million or, strictly, 1,048,576 bytes.
• Gigabyte (GB):- The gigabyte is a multiple of the unit byte for digital information. The prefix giga means 10⁹ in the International System of Units. Therefore, one gigabyte is one billion bytes. The unit symbol for the gigabyte is GB. a unit of information equal to one thousand million (109) or, strictly, 230 bytes.
• Terabyte (TB):- a unit of information equal to one million million (1012) or, strictly, 240 bytes.
