What is the destination unit in this conversion?
The destination unit is the gigabyte (GB), a decimal (SI) unit of digital storage equal to 1,000 megabytes, or 10^9 bytes.
How do I convert gibibytes to gigabytes?
Multiply the gibibyte value by 1.073741824 to get gigabytes. For example, 4 GiB × 1.073741824 = 4.294967296 GB.
Is the gibibyte to gigabyte conversion exact?
It's exact given the fixed definitions used here: decimal storage prefixes are based on powers of 1,000, while binary storage prefixes are based on powers of 1,024. The two scales are related by an exact factor, but they should not be confused with each other in casual usage, since a decimal and a binary unit with a similar-looking name represent different amounts of data.

About this conversion
This page converts gibibytes (GiB), a binary (IEC) unit of digital storage equal to 1,024 mebibytes, or 2^30 bytes, into gigabytes (GB), a decimal (SI) unit of digital storage equal to 1,000 megabytes, or 10^9 bytes.
This conversion is used constantly when checking file sizes, storage drive and memory capacity, network bandwidth, and mobile or broadband data plan allowances.
The formula is GB = GiB × 1.073741824, based on the fixed relationship between these two digital storage units.
It's exact given the fixed definitions used here: decimal storage prefixes are based on powers of 1,000, while binary storage prefixes are based on powers of 1,024. The two scales are related by an exact factor, but they should not be confused with each other in casual usage, since a decimal and a binary unit with a similar-looking name represent different amounts of data.
Digital storage prefixes follow the International System of Units (SI) for decimal units and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) recommendations for binary units, keeping decimal and binary quantities unambiguous.
