GB stabds for Giga Byte, its a unit of measurement for pieces of information : approximately 1 billion bytes, 1 million kilobytes, or 1000 megabytes when refer to decimal format, in case of binary fomat it refers to 1024 Mega bytes i.e. 1024*1024*1024 bytes. Hard disk sizes are usually measured in gigabytes. Often shortened to "GB", "Gig" or just G.

GB is an abbreviation for Gigabyte and is a measurement of data storage that equals 1,024 megabytes. Typically used to describe the storage capacity on a computer's hard drive or memory. One GB equals 1024 Megabytes (MB), which is 2^30 bytes, or 1,073,741,824 bytes.

2^30 = 1,073,741,824 bytes = 1024 megabytes. Roughly the amount of data required to encode a human gene sequence (including all the redundant codons).

A gigabyte or Gbyte (derived from the SI prefix giga-) is a unit of information or computer storage meaning either 1000³ bytes or 1024³ bytes (1000³ = one billion). The usage of the word "gigabyte" is ambiguous, depending on the context. When referring to RAM sizes and file sizes, it traditionally has a binary definition, of 1024³ bytes. For other uses, it means exactly 1000³ bytes. In order to address this confusion, currently the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) promotes the use of the term "gibibyte" for the binary definition. This position is endorsed by other standards organizations including the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the International Committee for Weights and Measures (CPIM) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

There are 8 bits in a byte. There are 1024 bytes in a kilobytes (KB). There are 1024 KB in a megabyte (MB). There are 1024 MB in a gigabyte (GB).
