GiB to MB - Conversion Formula and Steps

Gibibyte and Megabyte are units of digital information used to measure storage capacity and data transfer rate. Gibibyte is a binary standard unit where as Megabyte is decimal. One Gibibyte is equal to 1024^3 bytes. One Megabyte is equal to 1000^2 bytes. There are 0.000931322574615478515625 Gibibytes in one Megabyte. - view the difference between both units

(Binary Unit)
Megabyte (MB)
Equal to 1000^2 bytes
(Decimal Unit)

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

MB = GiB x 10243 / 10002

Note : Here we are converting the units between different standards. The source unit Gibibyte is Binary where as the target unit Megabyte is Decimal. In such scenario, first we need to convert the source unit to the basic unit - Byte - multiply with 1024^3, and then convert to target unit by dividing with 1000^2 .

Now let us apply the above formula and, write down the steps to convert from Gibibyte (GiB) to Megabyte (MB).

  1. STEP 1 → Megabyte = Gibibyte x 10243 / 10002
  2. STEP 2 → Megabyte = Gibibyte x (1024x1024x1024) / (1000x1000)
  3. STEP 3 → Megabyte = Gibibyte x 1073741824 / 1000000
  4. STEP 4 → Megabyte = Gibibyte x 1073.741824

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

  1. = 10 x 10243 / 10002
  2. = 10 x (1024x1024x1024) / (1000x1000)
  3. = 10 x 1073741824 / 1000000
  4. = 10 x 1073.741824
  5. = 10737.41824
  6. i.e. 10 GiB is equal to 10,737.41824 MB.

(Result rounded off to 40 decimal positions.)

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