How Binary Unit Conversion Works
Binary units use two different systems: decimal (powers of 1000) and binary (powers of 1024).
Decimal: 1 KB = 1,000 bytes, 1 MB = 1,000,000 bytes. Binary: 1 KiB = 1,024 bytes, 1 MiB = 1,048,576 bytes.
Our binary converter uses accurate conversion factors for both systems to ensure precise results for file sizes, storage capacity, and network speeds.
Common Use Cases
- File size calculations
- Hard drive and SSD capacity
- Network bandwidth and speed
- RAM memory specifications
- Data transfer and download sizes
Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is the binary unit converter?
Our converter uses precise conversion factors for both decimal (KB, MB, GB) and binary (KiB, MiB, GiB) systems. Results are accurate for professional use in IT, software development, and data management.
What’s the difference between KB and KiB?
KB (kilobyte) uses the decimal system: 1 KB = 1,000 bytes. KiB (kibibyte) uses the binary system: 1 KiB = 1,024 bytes. The difference becomes more significant at larger sizes.
How many bytes are in a megabyte?
In the decimal system (MB), 1 megabyte = 1,000,000 bytes. In the binary system (MiB), 1 mebibyte = 1,048,576 bytes. Operating systems often use binary while storage manufacturers use decimal.
How many bits are in a byte?
1 byte equals exactly 8 bits. This is a fundamental relationship in computing.
Why do hard drives show less capacity than advertised?
Hard drive manufacturers use decimal units (1 TB = 1,000,000,000,000 bytes), but operating systems use binary units (1 TiB = 1,099,511,627,776 bytes). A 1 TB drive shows as about 931 GiB in your OS.
What is the difference between Mbps and MBps?
Mbps (megabits per second) measures network speed, while MBps (megabytes per second) measures data transfer rate. Since 1 byte = 8 bits, 1 MBps = 8 Mbps. Internet speeds are typically given in Mbps.
How many gigabytes are in a terabyte?
In the decimal system, 1 TB = 1,000 GB. In the binary system, 1 TiB = 1,024 GiB.
What are petabytes and exabytes used for?
Petabytes (PB) and exabytes (EB) measure massive data storage, used by large corporations, data centers, and cloud service providers. For example, major tech companies may store hundreds of petabytes of data.
