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.
Writing the units next to every number while you work is the simplest way to avoid mistakes. If the units do not cancel to leave the one you want, the calculation is set up wrongly.
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.
