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.
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.
A conversion table is handy for common values, but a calculator is faster and avoids interpolation errors for anything in between.
