Bit/byte converters translate between bits, bytes, and larger data units (KB, MB, GB, TB) using binary (1024) or decimal (1000) scales.

공식

Decimal: 1 kB = 1000 bytes (used for storage/marketing)

단계별 가이드

  1. 11 byte = 8 bits
  2. 2Binary: 1 KB = 1024 bytes, 1 MB = 1024 KB (used for RAM)
  3. 3Decimal: 1 kB = 1000 bytes (used for storage/marketing)

풀어진 예시

입력
1 GB file
결과
1000 MB (decimal) or 1024 MB (binary), 8 billion bits
Decimal more common in marketing

피해야 할 일반적인 실수

  • Confusing binary and decimal scales (can be 7-10% different)
  • Forgetting to multiply bits by 8 when converting to bytes

자주 묻는 질문

Why two definitions of GB?

Standards conflict: NIST recommends binary (1024), but storage manufacturers use decimal (1000) in marketing.

Why do downloaded files seem smaller than stated?

Marketing uses decimal (1000); your computer shows binary (1024). 1000 GB marketed = 931 GB shown.
