MiB to GB - Conversion Formula and Steps

Mebibyte and Gigabyte are units of digital information used to measure storage capacity and data transfer rate. Mebibyte is a binary standard unit where as Gigabyte is decimal. One Mebibyte is equal to 1024^2 bytes. One Gigabyte is equal to 1000^3 bytes. There are 953.67431640625 Mebibytes in one Gigabyte. - view the difference between both units

(Binary Unit)
Gigabyte (GB)
Equal to 1000^3 bytes
(Decimal Unit)

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

GB = MiB x 10242 / 10003

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

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

FORMULA

Gigabyte = Mebibyte x 10242 / 10003

STEP 1

Gigabyte = Mebibyte x (1024x1024) / (1000x1000x1000)

STEP 2

Gigabyte = Mebibyte x 1048576 / 1000000000

STEP 3

Gigabyte = Mebibyte x 0.001048576

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

  1. = 10 x 10242 / 10003
  2. = 10 x (1024x1024) / (1000x1000x1000)
  3. = 10 x 1048576 / 1000000000
  4. = 10 x 0.001048576
  5. = 0.01048576
  6. i.e. 10 MiB is equal to 0.01048576 GB.

(Result rounded off to 40 decimal positions.)

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