How it's calculated
This calculator uses the decimal (SI) convention, where 1 GB equals 1000 MB, the same one used by storage manufacturers and most online converters. Some operating systems use the binary convention instead (1 GB = 1024 MB), which gives a slightly different result.
GB = MB ÷ 1000
Worked example
2500 MB equals 2500 ÷ 1000 = 2.5 GB.
