How Do You Convert Bytes Into Gigabytes?
Bytes are the unit of measurement used in computing. A single byte is made up of 8 bits with each bit representing a 1 or a 0. All computer data is made up of 1s and 0s, or bits. Computer information is calculated as a power of 2, or as binary numbers. Therefore, large numbers of bytes are divided by a power of 1024, rather than 1000, to get a more human readable number such as kilobytes, megabytes or gigabytes. Divide the number of bytes by 1024. This is the number of kilobytes. Divide the number of kilobytes by 1024. This is the number of megabytes. Divide the number of megabytes by 1024. This is the number of gigabytes.
