To find the number of bytes in 31 gigabytes and express it in scientific notation, we need to know the conversion factor between gigabytes (GB) and bytes (B).
1 gigabyte (GB) is equal to 1,073,741,824 bytes (B). This conversion factor is based on the fact that each gigabyte contains 1,024 megabytes (MB), and each megabyte contains 1,024 kilobytes (KB), and so on until bytes.
Given that 1 gigabyte (GB) = 1,073,741,824 bytes (B), we can calculate the number of bytes in 31 gigabytes as follows:
31 GB * 1,073,741,824 B/GB = 33,417,721,344 bytes
Therefore, 31 gigabytes is equal to 33,417,721,344 bytes.
Expressing this in scientific notation, we can write it as:
33,417,721,344 bytes = 3.3417721344 x 10^10 bytes
So, the answer is: 31 GB = 3.3417721344 x 10^10 B
