is 591541059 bytes 591mb or 5.91gig?

*ahem* no question is a stupid question! :)

591,541,059 = 591 MB

591541059 / 1024 / 1024 = 564.13751506805419921875

It is 564MB. Remember that it's not 1000 bytes in a KB, KBs in an MB, etc, and that the number is 1024.

I think it is a tiny bit over 564MB.

bleh.. then you go off and get technical.. (nobody actually counts it like that!)

Bah, in the time I broke the calculator out and did it, you had me beat. :D :D

this was my bandwidth use in my tera-byte (cobalt raq) control panel...that's 591mb (564mb) a day right? not 591mb (564mb) so far this month....

I thought it was

1024 bytes = 1 kilobyte
1000 kilobytes = 1 megabyte

or is it

1024 kilobytes = 1 megabyte

:confused:

Thus Quinn's calculations are correct.
