Digital Storage Conversion Formulas
Decimal (SI)
1 KB = 1,000 bytes
1 MB = 1,000,000 bytes
1 GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes
Binary (IEC)
1 KiB = 1,024 bytes
1 MiB = 1,048,576 bytes
1 GiB = 1,073,741,824 bytesFrequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between KB and KiB?
KB (kilobyte) = 1,000 bytes in the decimal (SI) system. KiB (kibibyte) = 1,024 bytes in the binary (IEC) system. Hard drive manufacturers use decimal; operating systems often use binary.
How many MB in a GB?
In decimal: 1 GB = 1,000 MB. In binary: 1 GiB = 1,024 MiB.
How many bits in a byte?
1 byte = 8 bits. This is the fundamental unit of digital information.
What is a petabyte?
1 petabyte (PB) = 1,000 terabytes = 1,000,000 gigabytes. Large data centres and cloud providers measure storage in petabytes.
