To convert 32 megabytes into bytes, we first need to understand the relationship between megabytes (MB) and bytes (B).
1 megabyte is equal to [tex]\(1024\)[/tex] kilobytes, and 1 kilobyte is equal to [tex]\(1024\)[/tex] bytes. Therefore,
[tex]\[1 \text{ MB} = 1024 \times 1024 \text{ bytes} = 1048576 \text{ bytes}.\][/tex]
To convert 32 megabytes to bytes, we multiply:
[tex]\[32 \text{ MB} = 32 \times 1048576 \text{ bytes}.\][/tex]
Performing the multiplication, we find:
[tex]\[32 \times 1048576 = 33554432 \text{ bytes}.\][/tex]
Now, we need to express this result in scientific notation. Scientific notation involves expressing the number as a coefficient times 10 raised to an exponent.
In scientific notation, [tex]\(33554432\)[/tex] can be written as follows:
The coefficient here is [tex]\(3.3554432\)[/tex] and the exponent is [tex]\(7\)[/tex]. Therefore,
[tex]\[33554432 = 3.3554432 \times 10^7 \text{ bytes}.\][/tex]
So, the final answer is:
[tex]\[32 \text{ MB} = 3.3554432 \times 10^7 \text{ B}.\][/tex]
Enter the coefficient [tex]\(3.3554432\)[/tex] in the green box and the exponent [tex]\(7\)[/tex] in the yellow box.
