The formula of converting the Gibibyte to Kibibyte is represented as follows :

KiB = GiB x 10242

Now let us apply the above formula and, write down the steps to convert from Gibibyte (GiB) to Kibibyte (KiB). This way, we can try to simplify and reduce to an easy to apply formula.

FORMULA

Kibibyte = Gibibyte x 10242

STEP 1

Kibibyte = Gibibyte x (1024x1024)

STEP 2

Kibibyte = Gibibyte x 1048576

Example : If we apply the above Formula and steps, conversion from 10 GiB to KiB, will be processed as below.

  1. = 10 x 10242
  2. = 10 x (1024x1024)
  3. = 10 x 1048576
  4. = 10485760
  5. i.e. 10 GiB is equal to 10,485,760 KiB.

(Result rounded off to 40 decimal positions.)

You can use above formula and steps to convert Gibibyte to Kibibyte using any of the programming language such as Java, Python or Powershell.
