Converting from Gigabyte (GB) to Kilobyte (kB) | Data storage (1KB=1024B)

What is Gigabyte (GB)

A Gigabyte (GB) is a unit of digital information storage that is commonly used to measure the size of files, storage devices, and memory. It represents approximately 1 billion bytes, specifically 1 GB=10243 B=1,073,741,824 B. In practical terms, a Gigabyte can store a range of data, including music, photos, and videos. Due to its large size, it's often used to measure hard drives, flash drives, and other storage media.

What is Kilobyte (kB)

A Kilobyte (kB) is a smaller unit of data storage that represents 1,024 bytes. This means that 1 kB=1024 B. Kilobytes are typically used to measure small files, such as text documents or smaller images. While kilobytes may seem minuscule compared to gigabytes, they play a crucial role in understanding data sizes and digital storage.

Conversion Formulas

To convert between Gigabytes and Kilobytes, you can use the following formulas:

1. From GB to kB:

   kB=GB×1048576

2. From kB to GB:

   GB=kB×0.0000009536743

This means that for every 1 Gigabyte, there are 1,048,576 Kilobytes.

Examples

Here are some examples illustrating the conversion between Gigabytes and Kilobytes:

• Example 1: Convert 1 GB to kB

  1 GB=1×1048576 kB=1048576 kB

• Example 2: Convert 14 GB to kB

  14 GB=14×1048576 kB=14680060 kB

• Example 3: Convert 15 GB to kB

  15 GB=15×1048576 kB=15728640 kB

• Example 4: Convert 1 kB to GB

  1 kB=1×0.0000009536743 GB≈0.0000009536743 GB

• Example 5: Convert 8 kB to GB

  8 kB=8×0.0000009536743 GB≈0.000007629395 GB
