Answer by  RLozano (213)

Giga is a prefix meaning a billion. Mega means million. A gigabit would be a billion bits (single units of computer information)a megabit is only a million of them. A bit itself is a single 'digit' of binary code. It can read 1 or 0. Eight bits make a byte.

Megabit is smaller than gigabyte. 1024 megabit is equal to 1 gigabyte. 1 Kilobyte = 1024 bytes 1 Megabyte = 1024 Kilobyte 1 gigabyte = 1024 megabyte
