Practice Essentials. Coronary artery atherosclerosis is the single largest killer of men and women in the United States. It is the principal cause of coronary artery disease (CAD), in which atherosclerotic changes are present within the walls of the coronary arteries.
A megabit, then, is approximately 1 million typed characters. Here is where the formula 8 bits = 1 byte can be used to convert megabits to megabytes, and vice versa. Another way to look at it is that a megabit is 1/8 of a megabyte, or that a megabyte is 8 times that of a megabit. Since we know that a megabyte is 8 times what the megabit value is, we can easily figure the megabyte equivalent by multiplying the megabit number by 8. Here are some easy examples: Eight (8) megabits = 1 megabyte (8 Mb = 1 MB) One (1) megabit = 1/8 megabyte = 0.125 megabyte (1Mb = 1/8 MB = 0.125 M)
The main difference between the megabyte and the gigabyte is how many bytes they contain. A megabyte contains 220 bytes (1,048,576 bytes) while a gigabyte contains 230 bytes (1,073,741,824 bytes). So considering that, a gigabyte can be composed of 210 megabytes (1024 megabytes). 1024 is the number for every step in the scale. Basically, a kilobyte has 1024 bytes, a megabyte has 1024 kilobytes, and a gigabyte has 1024 megabytes. In usual mathematics, each step is multiplied by 1000 or 103.
