GB to KiB - Conversion Formula and Steps
Gigabyte and Kibibyte are units of digital information used to measure storage capacity and data transfer rate. Gigabyte is a decimal standard unit where as Kibibyte is binary. One Gigabyte is equal to 1000^3 bytes. One Kibibyte is equal to 1024 bytes. There are 0.000001024 Gigabytes in one Kibibyte. - view the difference between both units
| Source Data Unit | Target Data Unit |
|---|---|
|
Gigabyte (GB)
Equal to 1000^3 bytes
(Decimal Unit) |
Kibibyte (KiB)
Equal to 1024 bytes
(Binary Unit) |
The formula of converting the Gigabyte to Kibibyte is represented as follows :
Note : Here we are converting the units between different standards. The source unit Gigabyte is Decimal where as the target unit Kibibyte 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 .
Now let us apply the above formula and, write down the steps to convert from Gigabyte (GB) to Kibibyte (KiB).
- STEP 1 → Kibibyte = Gigabyte x 10003 / 1024
- STEP 2 → Kibibyte = Gigabyte x (1000x1000x1000) / 1024
- STEP 3 → Kibibyte = Gigabyte x 1000000000 / 1024
- STEP 4 → Kibibyte = Gigabyte x 976562.5
Example : If we apply the above steps, conversion from 10 GB to KiB, will be processed as below.
- = 10 x 10003 / 1024
- = 10 x (1000x1000x1000) / 1024
- = 10 x 1000000000 / 1024
- = 10 x 976562.5
- = 9765625
- i.e. 10 GB is equal to 9,765,625 KiB.
(Result rounded off to 40 decimal positions.)
