1 BYTE = 8 BIT
1 MEGABYTES = 8 MEGABIT
1 KILOBYTE = 1024 BYTES
1 MEGABYTE = 1024 KILOBYTES
1 GIGABYTE = 1025 MEGABYTES

This is how it is suposed to be, but some companies/people (like those who make hard drives) think 1 GB = 1000 MEGABYTE and that is why that 80 GB hard drive has only 78 GB free space.
