If someone doesn't mind telling me.

In the future if you need to work that out yourself, you just divide by 1024.

So number in bytes divided by 1024 gives you KBytes
Divide the KBytes by 1024 to give you MegaBytes
Then Divide the Megabytes number by 1024 to give you GigaBytes which is 3.72Gb as ignogenius says.

Let's go back to grade school and learn about the International System of Units (http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/binary.html)

Even easier just count decimal places. Engineering notation is always a number multiplied by 10 raised to a multiple of three exponent. For every three places you move the decimal point to the left increment the engineering notation once. Three places to the left is Kilo or 10 to the third power, six places is Mega or 10 to the sixth power, nine places is Giga or 10 to the ninth power, 12 places is Tera or 10 with an exponent of 12 .

Acronym That site actually mentioned that this is NOT part of the SI.

The *only* site you'll ever need to convert one thing to another:

Absolutely. SI doesn't have *any* power-of-two prefixes.

1GB = 10^9 B.

It's unlimited bandwidth.

1 Megabyte (MB) = 0 Petabyte

that onlineconversion site is wrong

Bandwidth isn't unlimited - never can be, nor will be.

That website is so comprehensive it's scary.

Ionsurge - The guy was kidding. Laugh a little ;)

The site is not wrong,

1 MB = 0.000000001 Petabyte, this number is almost 0 so it will display 0.


I think you where looking for this:

FROM PB TO MB

1 Petabyte = 1,073,741,824 Megabyte

Nah I know - but not all people know that there is no such thing.

I was kidding about the petabyte thing. But saying 0 is really wrong whe it should be .000......1

just remember KILO = thousand [ ofcourse in this instance 1024]

Please tell that to NIST, the gov't, the IEC, the IEEE, and my college professors.

kibi != kilo
mebi != mega
gibi != giga

Xshare and cperciva, both of you need to learn to do more research before you open your mouth.

Really? Let's look at what I said when I "opened my mouth":
SI doesn't have *any* power-of-two prefixes.

And let's look at what the SI standard (http://www.bipm.fr/pdf/si-brochure.pdf) states:
SI prefixes refer strictly to powers of 10. They should not be used to indicate powers of 2 (for example, one kilobit represents 1000 bits and not 1024 bits).

IEC may have adopted binary prefixes, but SI has not.
