Gigabyte to Megabyte (GB to MB) Converter
1 gigabyte equals 1,000 megabytes (MB) — multiply the number of gigabytes by 1,000 to convert. This is the decimal (SI) definition used by drive makers, mobile carriers and most modern storage labels.
The formula
To convert gigabytes to megabytes, multiply by 1,000:
MB = GB × 1,000
For example, 8 GB × 1,000 = 8,000 MB. To reverse it, divide megabytes by 1,000.
