Answer:
33,554,432 sectors
Step-by-step explanation:
-We first convert both sizes to a uniform measure(both to be in bytes or gigabytes).
-We convert the drive size into Bytes:
[tex]1GB=1,073,741,824 \ Bytes\\\\\therefore 16GB=16\times1,073,741,824=1.717986918\times10^{10}\ Bytes[/tex]
#We then divide the Drive size by the sector size to get the number of sectors.
-Let X be the number of sectors:
[tex]X=\frac{Drive \ Size}{Sector \ Size}\\\\=\frac{1.717986918\times10^{10}}{512}\\\\=33,554,432[/tex]
Hence, the disk has 33,554,432 sectors.
