To answer that:

1000 bits = 1 KiloBit
1000 KiloBits = 1 MegaBit
1000 MegaBits = 1 GigaBit and so on...

&

1024 Bytes = 1 KiloByte
1024 KiloBytes = 1 MegaByte
1024 MegaByte = 1 GigaByte and so on...

As there are 8 bits in a byte (by eight).

And yes, you can only create 4 primary partitions per physical hard disk or three primary partitions and one extended partition with unlimited logical drives.
