(Practice) Although the total number of bytes varies from computer to computer, memory sizes of millions and billions of bytes are common. In computer language, the letter M represents the number 1,048,576, which is 2 raised to the 20th power, and G represents 1,073,741,824, which is 2 raised to the 30th power. Therefore, a memory size of 4 MB is really 4 times 1,048,576 (4,194,304 bytes), and a memory size of 2 GB is really 2 times 1,073,741,824 (2,147,483,648 bytes). Using this information, calculate the actual number of bytes in the following:

a. A memory containing 512 MB


b. A memory consisting of 512 MB words, where each word consists of 2 bytes


c. A memory consisting of 512 MB words, where each word consists of 4 bytes


d. A thumb drive that specifies 2 GB


e. A disk that specifies 4 GB


f. A disk that specifies 8 GB
