What it does
SI prefixes use powers of 1000; IEC binary prefixes use powers of 1024. Eight bits equal one byte.
Worked example
1 MiB = 1,048,576 bytes.
The example demonstrates the operation. For file-based tools, results depend on the selected file and options.How the result is produced
SI prefixes use powers of 1000; IEC binary prefixes use powers of 1024. Eight bits equal one byte.
Important limits
Values use double-precision arithmetic and are rounded to 13 significant digits. Named definitions matter; choose the intended unit.
Choosing the next step
Confirm whether a value is decimal or binary before converting it. In particular, storage units such as GB and GiB are not interchangeable, and fuel economy can be expressed as either distance per volume or volume per distance. The unit labels are part of the answer.
