How To Convert Bytes To Gigabytes Online?

Byte conversion has a simple rule. Since all the data stored in computer is binary every unit is counted in the power of 2. Hence a common multiplier is conventionally set as 10th power of 2. Following are the same conversion rules for binary data.

• 8 bits = 1 byte
• 2^10 bytes = 1 kilobyte
• 2^10 kilobytes = 1 megabyte.
• 2^10 megabytes = 1 gigabyte. And so on.

Hence to convert bytes into gigabytes we need to divide the number by 1024 first because 2^10 is equal to 1024. The number we get is that much megabytes of data. Now further divide it by 1024 to get amount of data in gigabytes.

You can also use online converter or Microsoft binary calculator for conversion.
