GB to GiB - Conversion Formula and Steps

Gigabyte and Gibibyte are units of digital information used to measure storage capacity and data transfer rate. Gigabyte is a decimal standard unit where as Gibibyte is binary. One Gigabyte is equal to 1000^3 bytes. One Gibibyte is equal to 1024^3 bytes. There are 1.073741824 Gigabytes in one Gibibyte. - view the difference between both units

(Binary Unit)

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

GiB = GB x 10003 / 10243

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

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

FORMULA

Gibibyte = Gigabyte x 10003 / 10243

STEP 1

Gibibyte = Gigabyte x (1000x1000x1000) / (1024x1024x1024)

STEP 2

Gibibyte = Gigabyte x 1000000000 / 1073741824

STEP 3

Gibibyte = Gigabyte x 0.931322574615478515625

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

  1. = 10 x 10003 / 10243
  2. = 10 x (1000x1000x1000) / (1024x1024x1024)
  3. = 10 x 1000000000 / 1073741824
  4. = 10 x 0.931322574615478515625
  5. = 9.31322574615478515625
  6. i.e. 10 GB is equal to 9.31322574615478515625 GiB.

(Result rounded off to 40 decimal positions.)

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