Conversion Formula
The conversion from GB to MiB relies on the fact that 1 GB equals 1024 MiB, because storage sizes in binary units are based on powers of 2. The formula multiplies the gigabyte value by 1024 to get the mebibyte equivalent. For example, 50 GB times 1024 results in 51200 MiB, calculated as 50 * 1024 = 51200.
Conversion Example
- Convert 200 GB to MiB:
- Step 1: Take the GB value, which is 200.
- Step 2: Multiply 200 by 1024.
- Step 3: 200 * 1024 = 204800 MiB.
- Result: 200 GB equals 204,800 MiB.
- Convert 75 GB to MiB:
- Step 1: GB value is 75.
- Step 2: Multiply 75 by 1024.
- Step 3: 75 * 1024 = 76800 MiB.
- Result: 75 GB equals 76,800 MiB.
- Convert 125 GB to MiB:
- Step 1: GB value is 125.
- Step 2: Multiply 125 by 1024.
- Step 3: 125 * 1024 = 128000 MiB.
- Result: 125 GB equals 128,000 MiB.

Conversion Definitions
gb: A gigabyte (GB) is a decimal unit of digital information storage equal to 1,000,000,000 bytes, based on powers of 10, used by hard drive manufacturers and storage devices to specify capacity.
mib: A mebibyte (MiB) is a binary unit of digital information equal to 1,048,576 bytes (1024 squared), used in computing to measure memory size, precisely representing binary data storage sizes.
Conversion FAQs
Why is 1 GB not exactly 1024 MiB?
Because GB is based on decimal units (1,000,000,000 bytes), while MiB uses binary units (1,048,576 bytes). Therefore, 1 GB corresponds to approximately 0.953674 MiB, but when converting in binary terms, we use 1024 MiB per GB for memory sizes.
Can I convert GB to MiB using a calculator?
Yes, using a calculator, multiply the GB value by 1024 to get the MiB equivalent. For example, 120 GB times 1024 equals 122,880 MiB. This simple multiplication provides precise conversions for binary storage measurements.
What are the differences between GB and GiB?
GB (gigabyte) is a decimal measurement based on 10^9 bytes, whereas GiB (gibibyte) is a binary measurement based on 2^30 bytes, which is 1,073,741,824 bytes. GiB is used to specify binary storage sizes more accurately in computing contexts.
How does the conversion change for larger values?
As values increase, multiplying by 1024 remains consistent because the conversion factor doesn’t change. For larger sizes, this multiplication accurately reflects binary measurements, making it reliable for estimating storage capacity or memory sizes.
