VP> 1k * 445862 = 1024b * 445862 = 466802688b = 455862mb = 445.1gb 445,862bytes * 1K = 445,862,000bytes = 445.8megabytes Or in your precise multiplication, 466,802,688bytes. And that is 466.8megabytes, moving the decimal point 6 places to the left instead of only 3 places (which would produce 466,802.688kilobytes). ............100 hundreds .........100000 thousands = kilo ......100000000 millions = mega ...100000000000 billions = giga ___ Blue Wave/QWK v2.12 --- Platinum Xpress/Win/WINServer v3.0pr5* Origin: Shakey Jake's *ALL FREE BBS* Santee, CA (1:202/1324) SEEN-BY: 633/267 270 @PATH: 202/1324 10/3 106/2000 633/267 |
