Question

There are 10 Superscript 9 bytes in a gigabyte. There are 10 Superscript 6 bytes in a megabyte. How many times greater is the storage capacity of a 1-gigabyte flash drive than a 1-megabyte flash drive? 3 times greater 10 times greater 1,000 times greater 3,000 times greater.

Answer 1

To find the how many  times greater is the storage capacity of a 1-gigabyte flash drive than a 1-megabyte flash drive we have to apply exponent operation.

The storage capacity of a 1-gigabyte is 1000 greater than 1-megabyte flash drive.

Given:

The given exponent for gigabyte is,

$10^9$

The given exponent of megabyte is,

$10^6$

What is exponent rule?

• The power rule of exponent rule is defined as if raise the a number with exponent to power then we will mulitply exponent to the power times.  
• to change the negative exponent into a positive we have to invert the base.

Calculate the storage capacity.

$\dfrac{10^9}{ 10^6}=10^9-6}\\ \dfrac{10^9}{ 10^6}=10^3\\ \dfrac{10^9}{ 10^6}=1000$

Thus, the storage capacity of a 1-gigabyte is 1000 greater than 1-megabyte flash drive.
