i know this may sound stupid
but how can i take 355137994 bytes and convert this to megs or gigs.

Is there a formula?

I konw you can just look at the numbers, but that is NOT what im asking.

Or if you don't feel like doing it out that way, go over to http://convert-me.com and have it calculated for you.

1 KB = 1024 bytes
1 MB = 1024 KB = 1048576 bytes
1 GB = 1024 MB = 1048576 KB = 1073741824 bytes

The number "1024" is important, but if you want to get the basic conversion, the Kilo always mean one thousand, Mega always mean one million and Giga always mean one billion, etc ...

So 355137994 is roughly 355.138MB or to be exact: 338,686 MB
