GB to MiB Formula and Manual Conversion Steps
Gigabyte and Mebibyte are units of digital information used to measure storage capacity and data transfer rate. Gigabyte is a decimal standard unit where as Mebibyte is binary. One Gigabyte is equal to 1000^3 bytes. One Mebibyte is equal to 1024^2 bytes. There are 0.001048576 Gigabytes in one Mebibyte. - view the difference between both units
| Source Data Unit | Target Data Unit |
|---|---|
|
Gigabyte (GB)
Equal to 1000^3 bytes
(Decimal Unit) |
Mebibyte (MiB)
Equal to 1024^2 bytes
(Binary Unit) |
The formula of converting the Gigabyte to Mebibyte 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 Mebibyte 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 1024^2 .
Now let us apply the above formula and see how to manually convert Gigabyte (GB) to Mebibyte (MiB). We can further simplify the formula to ease the calculation.
Mebibyte = Gigabyte x 10003 / 10242
Mebibyte = Gigabyte x (1000x1000x1000) / (1024x1024)
Mebibyte = Gigabyte x 1000000000 / 1048576
Mebibyte = Gigabyte x 953.67431640625
Example : If we apply the above Formula and steps, conversion from 10 GB to MiB, will be processed as below.
- = 10 x 10003 / 10242
- = 10 x (1000x1000x1000) / (1024x1024)
- = 10 x 1000000000 / 1048576
- = 10 x 953.67431640625
- = 9536.7431640625
- i.e. 10 GB is equal to 9,536.7431640625 MiB.
(Result rounded off to 40 decimal positions.)
You can use above formula and steps to convert Gigabyte to Mebibyte using any of the programming language such as Java, Python or Powershell.
