Question 1

How many megabytes are in a gigabyte?

Accepted Answer

1 gigabyte = 1024 megabytes.

Question 2

How is the conversion calculated?

Accepted Answer

Every unit is stored as a fixed multiple of bytes. To convert, we multiply your value by the source unit's factor to get bytes, then divide by the target unit's factor.

Question 3

Does this use binary or decimal units?

Accepted Answer

This converter uses binary (1024-based, "KiB-style") units under the familiar KB/MB/GB names, matching how operating systems commonly report file sizes — not the SI decimal (1000-based) standard.
