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

GB = kB / 10002

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

FORMULA

Gigabyte = Kilobyte / 10002

STEP 1

Gigabyte = Kilobyte / (1000x1000)

STEP 2

Gigabyte = Kilobyte / 1000000

STEP 3

Gigabyte = Kilobyte x (1 / 1000000)

STEP 4

Gigabyte = Kilobyte x 0.000001

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

  1. = 10 / 10002
  2. = 10 / (1000x1000)
  3. = 10 / 1000000
  4. = 10 x (1 / 1000000)
  5. = 10 x 0.000001
  6. = 0.00001
  7. i.e. 10 kB is equal to 0.00001 GB.

(Result rounded off to 40 decimal positions.)

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