Information Technology Fundamentals (ITF)

Computer Math Prefixes: K = kilo = 1,000 (thousand) M = mega = 1,000,000 (million) G = giga = 1,000,000,000 (billion) T = tera = 1,000,000,000,000 (trillion)

Computer Math CPU Speeds Measured in Hz (hertz) Means cycles per second The more cycles it can process, the faster it can run

Computer Math 1a. If a CPU is rated at 500 MHz, how many cycles can it process in a second? 500 times M (1,000,000) = 500,000,000 (500 million)

Computer Math 1b. If a CPU is rated at 1 GHz, how many cycles can it process in a second? 1 times G (1,000,000,000) = 1,000,000,000 (1 billion)

Computer Math 1c. If a CPU is rated at 950 MHz, how many cycles can it process in a second? 950 times M (1,000,000) = 950,000,000 (950 million)

Computer Math 1d. If a CPU is rated at 1.1 GHz, how many cycles can it process in a second? 1.1 times G (1,000,000,000) = 1,100,000,000 (1.1 billion)

Computer Math 1e. Which CPU is faster, one rated at 1.1 GHz, or one rated at 950 MHz? 1.1 GHz = 1,100,000, MHz = 950,000,000

Computer Math Hard Drive Capacity Measured in B (bytes) Means pieces of data More bytes on the hard drive = more data you can store

Computer Math 2a. If a hard drive holds 200 GB, how many pieces of data can it store? 200 times G (1,000,000,000) = 200,000,000,000 (200 billion)

Computer Math 2b. If a hard drive holds 1TB, how many pieces of data can it store? 1 times T (1,000,000,000,000) = 1,000,000,000,000 (1 trillion)

Computer Math 2c. If a hard drive holds 750 GB, how many pieces of data can it store? 750 times G (1,000,000,000) = 750,000,000,000 (750 billion)

Computer Math 2d. You need to have a total of 1TB of storage, and you already have a hard drive that holds 750GB. What is the smallest hard drive you can add and have 1TB of storage? 1TB (1,000,000,000,000) minus 750GB (750,000,000,000) = 250GB (250,000,000,000)
