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

FORMULA

Kibibytes = Gibibytes x 10242

STEP 1

Kibibytes = Gibibytes x (1024x1024)

STEP 2

Kibibytes = Gibibytes x 1048576
