Data Storage Conversion Formulas

Bits to Bytes

1 Byte = 8 bits

Example: 64 bits = 64 ÷ 8 = 8 Bytes

Bytes to Kilobytes

1 KB = 1024 B

Example: 2048 B = 2048 ÷ 1024 = 2 KB

Kilobytes to Megabytes

1 MB = 1024 KB

Example: 5120 KB = 5120 ÷ 1024 = 5 MB

Megabytes to Gigabytes

1 GB = 1024 MB

Example: 2048 MB = 2048 ÷ 1024 = 2 GB

Gigabytes to Terabytes

1 TB = 1024 GB

Example: 3072 GB = 3072 ÷ 1024 = 3 TB

Terabytes to Petabytes

1 PB = 1024 TB

Example: 2048 TB = 2048 ÷ 1024 = 2 PB

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is 1 KB = 1024 bytes, not 1000?

Computers use binary (base-2) system. 1024 = 2^10, which is the closest power of 2 to 1000. This is the standard in computer science.

How many MB in a GB?

1 GB (gigabyte) equals 1024 MB (megabytes). This follows the binary system used in computing.

What's the difference between bits and bytes?

1 byte = 8 bits. Bits (b) are the smallest unit, while bytes (B) are commonly used for file sizes. Note the capitalization: b = bit, B = byte.
