Based on the provided diagram and steps outlined earlier, the formula for converting the Gibibyte (GiB) to Byte (B) can be expressed as follows:

diamond CONVERSION FORMULA Byte = GiB x 10243

Now, let's apply the aforementioned formula and explore the manual conversion process from Gibibyte (GiB) to Byte (B). To streamline the calculation further, we can simplify the formula for added convenience.

FORMULA

Bytes = Gibibytes x 10243

STEP 1

Bytes = Gibibytes x (1024x1024x1024)

STEP 2

Bytes = Gibibytes x 1073741824

  3. = 1 x 1073741824
  4. = 1,073,741,824
  5. i.e. 1 GiB is equal to 1,073,741,824 Byte.

Note : Result rounded off to 40 decimal positions.

You can employ the formula and steps mentioned above to convert Gibibytes to Bytes using any of the programming language such as Java, Python, or Powershell.

Unit Definitions

What is Gibibyte ?

A Gibibyte (GiB) is a binary unit of digital information that is equal to 1,073,741,824 bytes (or 8,589,934,592 bits) and is defined by the International Electro technical Commission(IEC). The prefix 'gibi' is derived from the binary number system and it is used to distinguish it from the decimal-based 'gigabyte' (GB). It is widely used in the field of computing as it more accurately represents the amount of data storage and data transfer in computer systems.
