About this conversion

Data conversions explain why a 1 TB drive shows less space on your computer and help compare mobile plans sold in gigabytes.

For everyday use, three or four significant figures are usually enough. Engineering, science and trade documents may need more, and rounding should happen only at the end of a calculation.

Unit conversion is simply multiplication by a fixed ratio. The ratio between two units of the same quantity never changes, so once you know it you can convert any value in either direction.
