Converting Between Bits and Bytes - "Ladder" Analogy - General Maths

[@timaya6]

You are my hero. Thank you so very much. No one managed to explain it to me so far. Im so glad i came across your channel😊

[@hopperv56]

For those who want to know why we have to multiply by 1024 and not 1000 it is because its not kilobyte but kibibyte (KiB) and 1 KiB = 2^10 bytes = 1024 bytes. The same applies for mega -> mebi (2^20), giga -> gibi (2^30), etc... .

[@nathanaelc.bonfim1876]

Thank you very much, that was a great explanation. Keep up the great work!

[@SGC564]

Thanks a lot, it's definitely going to help me during my orientation to programing class this semester

[@RespectEdits]

Does it not make more sense to multiply by 1024 or 1000 to go up the ladder since for example one GB is worth 1 * 1024 MB?

[@pauliemoly2288]

thats what i was thinking as well

Why must we use 1K for bit instead of 1024 like Byte does?

[@3RM4L]

Thanks a lot,lol it was so confusing to me but in the end i found it very easy :D

[@marius6116]

This gave me aha moment i was looking for. Thank you for sharing :)

you don't use capital and lower b in this way (1kB and 1kb) you write it as 1KB and 1 KiB 1KB = 1000 Bits and 1 KiB = 1024 Bits

[@jordangaming7974]

Do you know the prefix of a thousand? Is lowercase not uppercase

[@renato8753]

Actually, it's 1kB and 1kb. The uppercase K refers to Kelvin.

[@commenter8640]

This made things so much easier. Great video.

[@trimaineyoung3716]

Thank you so much. I needed this tutorial. Whew!

[@xorbite]

I've been struggling with the conversion for a while now, I wasn't aware of how easy it could be if you knew the method. Thanks a lot for making this video!

[@DanielTriesLife]

um, i came for the TiByte vs TByte conversion. I think its explained here wrongly-i might be wrong tho as i am currently learning it. But my teacher said that TerraByte is calculated as 10^12 so using 1000s and Ti(bi)Byte is the one thats calculated with 1024 so 1 Ti(bi)Byte is 2^40. and said that its important that they are not the same. Am i wrong?

[@UnknownSend3r]

Why did you choose to do one in the rounding metric units of 1000 and for the other the exact value of 1024.

[@readforknowledgerfk2879]

BECAUSE THE KILO IS DEFINED AS 1024 NOT 1000 LIKE IN METERS BITS AND ANY OTHER UNIT

you are better then my lecturer

[@DanteKG.]

Sorry to see this video misguided so many people... the only reliable information here is at the end. A byte indeed consists of 8 bits. But the lesson about 1000 and 1024 isnt applicable to "bit vs byte" but to "decimal vs binary prefix". In short there are 2 dichotomies for a total of 4 possibilities: megabit (Mb), megabyte (MB), mebibit (Mib) and mebibyte (MiB). Converting between bits and bytes of the same order of magnitude is done by multiplying and dividing by 8. Converting between orders of magnitude is done by multiplying/dividing by 1000 (for decimal prefix) or 1024 (for binary prefix) regardless if bits or bytes are in question

[@Bruh-405]

Thanks bro, that saved me at the exam

[@sadeemali1097]

Thanks men ! I understand it now I appreciate it 👍🏻

[@jordangaming7974]

If you guys don’t know why divide and multiply are not 1024 is because is decimal version so their are 2 ways:Binary version and decimal version Edit:Mispelled

THANK YOU MY LORD

[@mikeef74]

Don't you have this backwards? A kilobit is >>> 1 bit x 1000 = 1 kilobit. So when you go up you multiply, but when you go down you divide.

[@carsonwoo2]

Agree!

[@hscmadeeasy1455]

I used the number 1 as an example. Focus on using the units inside each of the rungs as your guide.

[@mikeef74]

I'm not a troll, really just trying to understand your logic. You are showing an arrow going up from 1b to 1kb, yet you are saying to get to the second step on the ladder you need to divide 1 by 1000. If you did that, you would end up .001 bits, not 1000 bits. So logically to go from 1b to 1kb you need to multiply 1 bit by 1000 to reach the 1kb on second step on the ladder

[@hscmadeeasy1455]

I can completely understand what you're saying. However, my logic is that if you are standing on the 1 bit rung and want to go to kb (i.e. you want to express your answer in kb) then you would divide by 1000 because 1 bit = 0.001 kb. Similarly, if you are standing at the 1 Mb rung and want to go down to kb (i.e. you want to express your answer in kb) then you would multiply by 1000 because 1 Mb = 1000 kb. I hope this makes more sense.

[@robertw2930]

why isn't it 1024?

[@Ryan-si4cw]

Thanks mate !! Helped alot

[@zakrota11]

1000 for bits not 1024 why ??? Explain that bro.

[@hscmadeeasy1455]

+Feras Al-Souri *Bits* use the common base 10 multiple prefix naming system (scale factor is 1000): 10^3 kilo- k- 10^6 mega- M- 10^9 giga- G- 10^12 tera- T- *Bytes* use the base 2 binary system (scale factor is 1024): 2^10 kilo- K- 2^20 mega- M- 2^30 giga- G-

[@user-fly.better]

[@DiegoTelmo]

why we use 1000 for bits and 1024 for bytes?

[@hscmadeeasy1455]

+DiegoTelmo It's because computers work in binary so the memory is measured in powers of 2 so it would be 2^10 which equals 1024.

[@Zylenxx]

is it true that (x) Bit = 2^(x) bytes?

[@petrsmejkal3652]

I don't really think this is true... 1 GB = 1000 MB but 1 gibibyte (2^30) = 1024 mebibyte (2^20). That's actually why if u see capacity of a new HDD which should be 1TB, Windows shows only 931GB (it shows gigibytes, not gigabytes). I can't explain this really well with my English but try to find out more about mebibytes and gigibytes on Google :)...

[@Naz-yi9bs]

Aren't you explaining it backwards? Shouldn't 1B be multiplied by 1024 to get to 1MB rather than divided? Also, if you wan't to convert 1 BIT into 1 BYTE shouldn't you take 1 BIT and multiple it by 8 because each 1 BYTE has 8 bits? But you keep saying everything backwards. Unless, I have it backwards.
