FAQ

How many megabytes are in a gigabyte?

1,024 MB, which works out to 1,024 × 1,024 × 1,024 = 1,073,741,824 bytes. That is the binary gigabyte used by operating systems and by this converter; the decimal gigabyte of the SI is 1,000 MB, and the IEC name for the binary unit is the gibibyte (GiB).

What is the formula to convert megabytes to gigabytes?

Divide the megabyte value by 1,024: 1,024 MB = 1 GB, 5,120 MB = 5 GB and 102,400 MB = 100 GB. Multiplying by 1,024 converts gigabytes back into megabytes.

Why does a 64 GB phone have far less than 64 GB free?

Mostly because the operating system and the preinstalled apps take several gigabytes. The unit scale is not the cause on a phone: iOS and Android count storage in decimal gigabytes, just like the box. It is on Windows that the same 64,000,000,000 bytes show up as only about 59.6 GB, because Windows divides by 1,024 three times.
