Frequently Asked Questions

  • How many Gigabytes are in 17 Kilobytes?

    There are 0.0000162125 Gigabytes in 17 Kilobytes.

  • What is 17 Kilobytes in Gigabytes?

    17 Kilobytes is equal to 0.0000162125 Gigabytes. To perform this conversion yourself using the convention, multiply 17 by 9.53674e-7.

  • How to convert 17 Kilobytes to Gigabytes?

    To convert 17 Kilobytes to Gigabytes using the convention, multiply 17 by 9.53674e-7. This gives you 0.0000162125 Gigabytes.

  • What is the formula to convert Kilobytes to Gigabytes?

    The formula to convert from Kilobytes to Gigabytes using the convention is: Gigabytes = Kilobytes × 9.53674e-7. Using this formula, 17 Kilobytes equals 0.0000162125 Gigabytes.

  • What is the difference between Kilobytes and Gigabytes?

    The main difference between Kilobytes and Gigabytes is that 1 Kilobytes equals 9.53674e-7 Gigabytes using the convention. Note that data storage units commonly use two conventions: the decimal (SI) based on powers of 1000 (kB, MB, GB, etc.) and the binary (IEC) based on powers of 1024 (KiB, MiB, GiB, etc.). This calculator uses the convention.

  • Is Kilobytes bigger than Gigabytes?

    Gigabyte is larger than Kilobyte. Specifically, using the convention, 1 Kilobytes equals 9.53674e-7 Gigabytes.

  • Why is there confusion between KB and KiB, MB and MiB, etc.?

    Historically, "kilobyte" (KB) was often used informally to mean 1024 bytes (2^10). However, the SI prefix "kilo" officially means 1000 (10^3). This led to confusion. The IEC introduced binary prefixes like kibibyte (KiB) specifically for 1024 bytes, mebibyte (MiB) for 1024 KiB, etc., to provide clarity. SI prefixes (kB, MB, GB) are now correctly used for powers of 1000, while IEC prefixes (KiB, MiB, GiB) are used for powers of 1024.

  • What is the difference between bits and bytes?

    A bit is the smallest unit of data, representing a binary value of either 0 or 1. A byte is a common unit of digital information that consists of 8 bits. Data storage capacity is typically measured in bytes and their larger multiples.
