KB to GB Conversion

Kilobytes

Kilobyte (KB) is a common measurement unit of digital information (including text, sound, graphic, video, and other sorts of information) that equals to 1000 bytes. In practical information technology, KB is actually equal to 2¹⁰ bytes, which makes it equal to 1024 bytes. Decades ago, this unit used to be one of the most popular ones, but recently, since the volumes of information increased drastically, such unit as gigabyte has become more commonly used.

Kilobyte in SI and base 10 (decimal)
1 Kilobyte = 10001 bytes
1 Kilobyte = 1000 bytes
Kilobyte in base 2 (binary)
1 Kilobyte = 210 bytes
1 Kilobyte = 10241 bytes
1 Kilobyte = 1024 bytes
                

Gigabytes

Gigabyte (GB) is one of the most commonly used units of digital information which is equal to 1,000,000,000 bytes. However, in computer operating science, the value of 1 GB is considered to be equal to 2³⁰ or 1024³ bytes which is equal to 1,073,741,824 bytes. GB is often used for indicating a size of memory or specifying a size of a movie, computer RAM, and so on. The maximum amount of information stored in a single layer DVD is usually close to 4.8 GB, and the maximum amount of information that can be stored in a single layer Blu-ray disc is equal to 25 GB.

Gigabyte in SI and base 10 (decimal)
1 Gigabyte = 10003 bytes
1 Gigabyte = 1,000,000,000 bytes
Gigabyte in base 2 (binary)
1 Gigabyte = 230 bytes
1 Gigabyte = 10243 bytes
1 Gigabyte = 1,073,741,824 bytes
                

How to Calculate Kilobytes to Gigabytes

Kilobyte in SI
1 Kilobyte = 10001 bytes
We know that 1GB = 10003 bytes, so
1 byte = 1000-3 GB
putting 1 byte in kilobyte equation;
1 Kilobyte = 10001 * 1000-3 GB
1 Kilobyte = 1000-2 GB
1 Kilobyte = 0.000001 Gigabytes
                

KB to GB in Base 2 (binary)

Kilobyte in base 2
1 Kilobyte = 210 bytes
1 Kilobyte = 10241 bytes
1 byte = 1024-3 GB
1 Kilobyte = 10241 * 1024-3 GB
1 Kilobyte = 1024-2 GB
1 Kilobyte = 2-20 Gigabytes
1 Kilobyte = 0.00000095367432 Gigabytes
