Formula & Mathematics
Decimal vs Binary Storage Standards
Decimal: 1 GB = 1000 MB = 10⁹ Bytes; Binary: 1 GiB = 1024 MiB = 2³⁰ Bytes
Storage manufacturers use decimal (1000), while operating systems often use binary (1024).
Worked Example
Why does a 1TB hard drive show as ~931 GB in Windows?
Converting 1,000,000,000,000 bytes into binary GiB.
• 1,000,000,000,000 / (1024)³ = 931.32 GiB
1 TB decimal = 931.32 GiB binary.
