SI Decimal vs Binary: Why GB to KiB Is Not a Round Number
Gigabyte (GB) is an SI decimal unit: each prefix step multiplies by 1,000, so 1 GB = 8,000,000,000 bits. Kibibyte (KiB) is an IEC binary unit: each prefix step multiplies by 1,024, so 1 KiB = 8,192 bits. Dividing one by the other gives 976,562.5, which is why GB to KiB is not a round number.
| Unit | Standard | Prefix step | 1 unit equals |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gigabyte (GB) | SI decimal | 1,000 | 8,000,000,000 bits |
| Kibibyte (KiB) | Binary (IEC) | 1,024 | 8,192 bits |
To compare like with like, use GB to KB for SI decimal or GiB to KiB for binary (IEC).
