A gibibyte (a contraction of giga binary byte) is a unit of information or computer storage, abbreviated GiB[1]. A bit is a binary digit, taking a value of either 0 or 1 Binary digits are a basic unit of Information storage and communication A byte (pronounced "bite" baɪt is the basic unit of measurement of information storage in Computer science.

1 gibibyte = 230 bytes = 1,073,741,824 bytes = 1024 mebibytes

The gibibyte is closely related to the gigabyte, which can either be a synonym for gibibyte, or refer to 109 bytes = 1,000,000,000 bytes, depending on context (see binary prefix). A byte (pronounced "bite" baɪt is the basic unit of measurement of information storage in Computer science. A mebibyte (a contraction of me ga bi nary byte) is a unit of Information or Computer storage, abbreviated MiB. A gigabyte (derived from the SI prefix Giga-) is a unit of Information or Computer In computing binary prefixes are names or associated symbols that can precede a unit of measure (such as a Byte) to indicate multiplication by a power of two
