Convert gibibytes to mebibytes

1 gibibyte = 1,024 mebibytes

mebibytes = gibibytes × 1,024

One gibibyte is 1,024 mebibytes, so multiply by 1,024 to convert. That factor is exact by definition. KiB, MiB, GiB and TiB are the IEC binary units: every step is ×1,024. Windows and RAM specs count this way; drive makers and macOS use the decimal MB/GB/TB of 1,000.
