I needed to figure out how many requests could be made with 1000 GB of traffic if each request took 1MB on average. I quickly did the math on paper, and then as a second thought plugged it into Google. To my surprise, Google's answer is different than mine.
My way:
1,000 gigabytes = 1000*1024*1024*1024 bytes
Divide by 1 megabyte = 1024*1024 bytes
to get:
(1000*1024*1024*1024)/(1024*1024) = 1,024,000
The Google Way:
1000 gigabytes / 1 megabyte
Output: 1,000,000
Am I wrong, or is Google wrong?
