Question

program is distributed on floppy disk . if the size of the whole program is 10 mb ,what is the maximum number of floppy disk (1.44mb) capicity needed​

Answer 1

Answer:

720k bits

Explanation:

The capacity designation “1.44MB” is a little weird. A 1.44MB floppy is really a 1440K floppy, where K is 1024 bytes.

That is, its capacity is 1.44⋅1000⋅1024=1474560 bytes.

It is not 1.44⋅1024⋅1024 bytes as the other answer suggests.

Why? It is exactly double the capacity of a 720K floppy. Someone saw 1440K, though, and decided to shorten it to 1.44MB, and the rest is history.

Hope it helps you!
