Key Formulas
Megabyte → Gigabyte
GB = MB × 0.001Gigabyte → Megabyte
MB = GB × 1000Gigabyte → Terabyte
TB = GB × 0.001Terabyte → Gigabyte
GB = TB × 1000Formula
TB = GB × (1000000000 / 1e+12)One terabyte is 1,000 gigabytes in decimal units, so divide gigabytes by 1,000 to get terabytes. A 500 GB drive holds 0.5 TB, and 2,000 GB makes 2 TB. This conversion helps when you compare drive capacities, cloud storage tiers, or backup sizes listed in different units. Drive labels use decimal units, while some operating systems report capacity in binary units, which shows a smaller number than the label. A tebibyte (TiB) equals 1,024 GiB.
