One gigabyte is equivalent to
Answer: A
One gigabyte is \(2^{30}\) bytes.
In the binary convention used for computer memory, each unit is 1,024 times the one below it:
\[ \begin{aligned} 1\ \text{KB} &= 2^{10} \\ 1\ \text{MB} &= 2^{20} \\ 1\ \text{GB} &= 2^{30} = 1{,}073{,}741{,}824\ \text{bytes} \end{aligned} \]
So \(2^{20}\) bytes is one megabyte, \(2^{12}\) bytes is 4 KB, and \(2^{24}\) bytes is 16 MB; none of them is a gigabyte.
