About these measurements
Data storage expresses a number of bits or bytes.
The base reference used here is the byte. One kibibit is 128 base units; one gigabit is 125,000,000 base units.
Important distinctions
Decimal prefixes use powers of 1,000; binary prefixes use powers of 1,024. One byte is eight bits.
Precision
The converter uses stored conversion factors and floating-point arithmetic. Results display up to ten significant digits, switching to scientific notation for very small or large values. Keep the precision of your original measurement when reporting results.
