What this data storage conversion is for

Use this page when a measurement is written in gigabytes and the next step needs megabytes. The number stays blank until you press Calculate, so a half-typed entry is never mistaken for the answer.

The factor

1 gigabyte = 1,000 megabytes. Storage on this page uses decimal prefixes: 1 kilobyte = 1,000 bytes, and 1 byte = 8 bits. A binary kibibyte is 1,024 bytes, which is a different unit.

A worked example

10 gigabytes are 10,000 megabytes. Multiply the result by the reverse factor if you want the original number back.

How to check it

Write the factor down, do the multiply on paper, and compare it with the result card. If you change a sentence on this page, edit the HTML file and reload. The form and this note live in the same file.

The reverse conversion is megabytes to gigabytes. A nearby pair in the same units is gigabytes to bits. When the converted number is the input to a job, continue with the download time calculator.
