1. 1Gb is 1 million Kb

2. The ratio of 1Gb to 1Kb is 1M.

In general science and engineering, in which decimal representation of numbers dominates, the prefix "K" stands for "kilo" and refers to a factor of one thousand (i.e., 10^3); the prefix "G" stands for "giga" and refers to a factor of one (US) billion or one (UK) thousand million (i.e., 10^9). The ratio between these is thus one million or 10^6. The prefix for one million is "M" which stands for "mega."

When referring to computer science and engineering, in which binary representation of numbers dominates, the prefix "K" usually refers to a factor of 1,024 (i.e., 2^10); the prefix "G" usually refers to a factor of 1,073,741,824 (i.e., 2^30). The ratio between these is thus 1,048,576 (i.e., 2^20). The prefix for this is "M" which stands for "mega."
