Byte conversion is the process of converting bytes to other units of digital information, such as kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes, terabytes, petabytes, exabytes, zettabytes, and yottabytes.

Byte conversion is often used to measure the size of files and data storage devices. For example, a 1 gigabyte (GB) hard drive can store approximately 1,000,000,000 bytes of data.

Byte conversion calculation

A byte is a unit of digital information that consists of 8 bits. A bit is the smallest unit of data in a computer.

To convert bytes to kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes, terabytes, petabytes, exabytes, zettabytes, and yottabytes, you can use the following formulas:

• Bytes to kilobytes: 1 byte = 1024 bytes
• Bytes to gigabytes: 1 megabyte = 1024 kilobytes = 1073741824 bytes
• Bytes to terabytes: 1 gigabyte = 1024 megabytes = 1099511627776
• Bytes to petabytes: 1 terabyte = 1024 gigabytes = 1125899906842624
• Bytes to exabytes: 1 petabyte = 1024 terabytes = 1152921504606846976
• Bytes to zettabytes: 1 exabyte = 1024 petabytes = 1180591620717411303424
• Bytes to yottabytes: 1 zettabyte = 1024 exabytes = 1208925819614629174706176

For example, to convert 1024 bytes to kilobytes, you would use the following formula:

1024 bytes / 1024 bytes/kilobyte = 1 kilobyte

This means that 1024 bytes is equal to 1 kilobyte.
