Why is it that I have an 8GB flash drive but when I format it there is only 7.4GB left?

So I am a PC technician for a big box retail store (im not going to name it) so whoever answers this doesn't have to dumb down the answer you can be as technical as you need to be but I have never run into this problem before... I have an 8GB flash drive and when using the basic windows format tool it only left me with 7.4. Oddly enough I had used .6GB on the flash drive, so its almost like windows did not mark that as open space like it should and now it is only reading the previous open space? I know windows format tool sucks just like most Microsoft crap but it has always been fine for me. HELP! Thanks everyone in advance!
