GiB to MiB formula
The calculator converts the input to the category's reference unit, then divides by the target unit's factor.
Result = input × source factor ÷ target factor
1 × (1,073,741,824 ÷ 1,048,576) = 1,024
Worked example: 1 Gibibytes = 1,024 Mebibytes
Auto mode preserves significant digits for small values; manual mode rounds to the selected decimal places. ≈ means approximate; < means below the display limit. Extreme values use × 10ⁿ. Calculations are rounded only for display.

Frequently asked questions
how many MiB is 1 GiB?
1 Gibibytes = 1,024 Mebibytes. Auto mode preserves significant digits for small values; manual mode rounds to the selected decimal places. ≈ means approximate; < means below the display limit. Extreme values use × 10ⁿ. Calculations are rounded only for display.
how to convert GiB to MiB?
The calculator converts the input to the category's reference unit, then divides by the target unit's factor. 1 × 1,024 ≈ 1,024 Mebibytes. Use the source and target factors shown in the formula. The worked example uses the value on this page, and the table provides other common values.
Why does 1 MB differ from 1 MiB?
One MB is 1,000,000 bytes. One MiB is 1,048,576 bytes. Storage products and software may use different conventions, so check both the symbol and definition.
Why is the displayed result rounded?
Auto mode preserves significant digits for small values; manual mode rounds to the selected decimal places. ≈ means approximate; < means below the display limit. Extreme values use × 10ⁿ. Calculations are rounded only for display.
What input range can I use?
This calculator accepts non-negative values up to 1 trillion, with up to 8 decimal places. It does not calculate signed vectors or calendar date intervals.
Why is a unit unavailable?
A conversion is unavailable when a verified unit definition or a current exchange-rate value has not been configured. The tool does not invent a coefficient.
