How to convert megabytes to gibibytes
One byte is 8 bits. Decimal kilo/mega/giga use powers of 1000; binary kibi/mebi/gibi use powers of 1024. Marketing capacity and operating-system displays can therefore differ.
Use x for the value in MB, b for the intermediate value in B, and y for the result in GiB.
GiB = MB × 1000000 ÷ 1073741824
Worked examples
10 MB ≈ 0.00931322574615 GiB
Step 1: (10 × 1000000) ≈ 10000000 B.
Step 2: 10000000 ÷ 1073741824 ≈ 0.00931322574615 GiB.20 MB ≈ 0.0186264514923 GiB
Step 1: (20 × 1000000) ≈ 20000000 B.
Step 2: 20000000 ÷ 1073741824 ≈ 0.0186264514923 GiB.
Results are rounded to 12 significant digits. Converting units does not increase the precision of the original measurement. Very large or small values outside JavaScript’s finite numeric range are rejected.
