What is the amount of video memory required for an image with a color depth of 24 bits

What is the amount of video memory required for an image with a color depth of 24 bits and the resolution of the display is 800×600 pixels.

To solve this problem, you first need to determine the total number of pixels in this image.

To do this, we multiply its sizes among ourselves.

We get:

800 * 600 = 480,000.

Find the information volume of the image in bits.

Since the color depth is 24 bits, for this we multiply the previously found number of pixels by the color depth.

We get:

480,000 * 24 = 11520000 bits.

We translate the amount of information into bytes.

Since there are 8 bits in 1 byte, we get:

11520000/8 = 1440000 bytes.

We translate into Kilobytes.

1,440,000 / 1,024 = 1406.25 KB.

Answer: 1406.25 kilobytes are required.
