Tobacco Use & Consequences. Smokeless tobacco use is back on the rise. The Federal Trade Commission's 2003 Report on smokeless tobacco states that, for the past three years of data (1999-2001), sales of smokeless tobacco (in pounds) has increased compared to a declining trend from 1991 to 1999.
A kilobyte equals 1000 bytes (actually 1024 bytes but we normally round it off). A megabyte equals 1,000,000 bytes. A gigabyte equals one billion bytes. For comparison, a standard 3 1/2 inch floppy disk holds 1.44 megabytes (1,440,000 bytes). A Zip disk holds 100 or 250 megabytes.
In terms of data, one MB is 1,000 times larger than one KB. A kilobyte is 1,000 bytes, while one MB, which stands for megabyte, comprises 1 million bytes. Continue Reading. The way MB and KB are capitalized makes a big difference in what is being discussed. When talking about data transfer speeds, one is discussing megabits and kilobits, not megabytes and kilobytes. Bits are abbreviated as mb or kb, while bytes, which measure size, are abbreviated as MB or KB, respectively. The progression in units of data measurements is bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes, terabytes, petabytes, exabytes, zettabytes and finally, yottabytes. Each one is 1,000 times larger than the previous.
