3. How many bytes are in 100 MB of memory?
100 MB = 100 X 220 = 104,857,600 Bytes
4. How many bytes are in 2 GB of memory?
2 GB = 2 X 230 = 231 = 2,147,483,648 Bytes
5. How many MBs are in 5 GB of memory?
5 GB = 5 X 210 MB = 5,120 MB
6. A computer with 3 GB of memory and its word size is 4 bytes:
a. How many bytes are there in the memory?
3 GB = 3 X 230 = 3,221,225,472 Bytes
b. How many locations are there in the memory?
Memory size in bytes 3,221,225,472
Number of locations = = = 805,306,368 locations
word size 4
