    To terabytes = 1024 Go
    Go for gigabytes = 1024 Mo
    Mo for megabytes = 1024 Ko
    Ko for kilobytes = 1024 bytes
    1o = 1 byte = 8 bits
    The bit is the smallest element and corresponds to an electrical signal "on" or "off".
    For simplicity, a factor of 1000 is often used instead of 1024 between each unit.
    So one Mo is 1024 times larger than one Ko.

      I admit that I searched on the Internet and your explanation about GB and MB (etc...) really helped me!

      So I have a free plan for $2 with 50 MB and I've used 300 KB. Did I exceed my plan?

    The biggest to the smallest:

    TO

    GO

    MO

    KO

    The biggest is TO and the smallest is KO

    Ko = kilobyte => 10 to the power of 3 bytes = 1,000 bytes
    Mo = megabyte => 10 to the power of 3 Ko = 1,000 Ko => 1,000,000 bytes
    (all these values are approximate for better understanding)
    10
