How several floppies equal a 2 see thumb drive?


How several floppies equal a 2 see thumb drive?

2GB is roughly equivalent to 1422 1.44MB 3.5 floppy disks
1422
1gb = 1024MB (x 2 = 2048MB)



2048MB/1.44MB = 1422.2 (1423 for this reason!)
2 Gig = 2000 Megabytes.

1 - 3.5 floppy = 1.44 Megabytes.



1.44 megabytes divided into 2,000,000 megabytes = (somewhere around 1422 floppies).



Therefore 1422, (1.44 meg floppies = 2 Gigabytes or thereabouts).



PROOF: Myltiply 1422 x 1.44 = 2047.68 Megabytes = 2.48 Gigabytes, (rounded off).
1422 floppies make a 2 GB pen drive
1422 floppies...
694.4444flopy =1gig
To be precise it equals around 1423 floppies because even for a moment more than 1422 you will require an extra 1 floppy

Calc



1 Gb = 1024 MB

2 Gb = 2048 MB

1 floppy = 1.44 MB

therefore 2048/1.44 = 1422.2222
