You would need 729 floppy disks to hold 1GB of data. This is because:
1 gigabyte is equal to 1,073,741,824 bytes
1 floppy disk can hold 1,474,560 bytes
So floppy disks per gigabyte is equal to 1,073,741,824 divided by 1,474,560, which is 728.18 disks. This means you would need 729 disks to hold the full 1GB.
