For this case we have to:
1 megabyte is defined as[tex]10 ^ 6[/tex]bytes
1 gigabyte is defined as [tex]10 ^ 9[/tex] bytes
We want to know how many megabytes there are in a gigabyte. For this we divide:
[tex]\frac {10 ^ 9} {10 ^ 6}[/tex]
By power properties we have:
[tex]\frac {10 ^ 9} {10 ^ 6} = 10 ^ {9-6} = 10 ^ 3[/tex]
So we have that in a gigabyte there is one megabyte plus one kilobyte.
Checking:
[tex]10 ^ 6 * 10 ^ 3 = 10 ^ {6 + 3} = 10 ^ 9[/tex]
Answer:
1 megabyte
