  • Think of this formula. 1 GB = 1024 MB Therfore 10 GB = 10240 MB Just multiply by 10.
  • g'day Prombar, Thank you for your question. 10,240 according to Google calculator. It is great for doing conversions. http://www.google.com.au/search?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=&q=10+gigabyte+in+megabytes&btnG=Google+Search&meta= Regards
  • 1) "The term "megabyte" is ambiguous because it is commonly used to mean either 10002 bytes or 10242 bytes. The confusion originated as compromise technical jargon for the byte multiples that needed to be expressed by the powers of 2 but lacked a convenient name. As 1024 (210) is roughly equal to 1000 (103), roughly corresponding SI multiples began to be used as approximate binary multiples. By the end of 2007, standards and government authorities including IEC, IEEE, EU, and NIST, had addressed this ambiguity by promulgating standards requiring the use of megabyte to describe strictly 10002 bytes and "mebibyte" to describe 10242 bytes. This is reflected in an increasing number of software projects, but most file managers still show file sizes in "megabytes" ("MB") in the binary sense (10242 bytes). The term remains ambiguous and it can follow any one of the following common definitions: 1) 1,000,000 bytes (10002, 106): This is the definition recommended by the International System of Units (SI) and the International Electrotechnical Commission IEC. This definition is used in networking contexts and most storage media, particularly hard drives, Flash-based storage, and DVDs, and is also consistent with the other uses of the SI prefix in computing, such as CPU clock speeds or measures of performance. 2) 1,048,576 bytes (10242, 220): This definition is most commonly used in reference to computer memory, but most software that display file size or drive capacity, including file managers also use this definition. See Consumer confusion (in the "gigabyte" article). 3) 1,024,000 bytes (1000×1024): This is used to describe the formatted capacity of USB flash drives and the "1.44 MB" 3.5 inch HD floppy disk, which actually has a 1,440 KiB capacity, that is, 1,440×1,024 bytes, or 1,474,560 bytes." Source and further information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megabyte 2) "There are two different definitions of gigabyte in general use: 1) 1,000,000,000 bytes or 109 bytes is the decimal definition, used in telecommunications (such as network speeds) and most computer storage manufacturers (such as hard disks and flash drives). This usage is compatible with SI. Quote from Seagate: "For drive storage capacity, 1 gigabyte = 1,000,000,000 bytes (or one billion bytes).", Similar quotes are found on the websites of other storage manufacturers. 2) 1,073,741,824 bytes, equal to 10243, or 230 bytes. This is the definition commonly used for computer memory and file sizes. Microsoft uses this definition to display hard drive sizes, as do most other operating systems and programs by default. By this definition, there are 1,024 times 1,024 times 1,024 bytes (or 1,024 megabytes where one megabyte is considered as 1048576 bytes) in a gigabyte. Since 1999, the IEC recommends that this unit should instead be called a gibibyte (abbreviated GiB). Although there is little other usage of the term "gigabyte" apart from referring to memory, file sizes, or storage capacity, the IEC's recommendations are frequently ignored amongst computer professionals, and "gigabyte" is used colloquially to mean 10243 bytes. The standard body JEDEC Solid State Technology Association acknowledges the conflict and the existence of the IEC recommendations but, in recognition of the widespread colloquial usage, continues to recognize the definition of 10243 bytes." Source and further information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigabyte 3) As a conclusion, if you follow the SI/IEC convention, for instance in networking contexts and for most storage media, you get: 1 GB = 10^9 B 1 MB = 10^6 B 10 GB = 10,000 MB But if you follow another convention, for computer memory or file sizes, you could get: 1 GB = 1024^3 B 1 MB = 1024^2 B 10 GB = 10,240 MB
  • 10,485,760
  • One Gb= 1024 MB thats why 10GB= 1024*10 MB hopefully you have your answer.
