A kilobyte (KB) is a unit of digital information equal to 1,024 bytes. A gigabyte (GB) is equal to 1,024 megabytes (MB) or 1,048,576 kilobytes (KB). GB is 1,000 times larger than MB and 1,000,000 times larger than KB.

Why are there 1,048,576 KB in a GB?

Digital storage uses binary measurements. Since 1 GB = 1,024 MB and 1 MB = 1,024 KB, the calculation is 1,024 × 1,024 = 1,048,576 KB in one GB.

Is this converter accurate for all storage devices?

Yes, the conversion ratio is standard across all digital storage systems. However, note that some storage manufacturers use decimal calculations (1 GB = 1,000,000 KB) for marketing purposes.
