How to Convert Megabytes to Gigabytes

To convert a measurement in megabytes to a measurement in gigabytes, divide the data storage by the following conversion ratio: 1,024 megabytes/gigabyte.

Since one gigabyte is equal to 1,024 megabytes, you can use this simple formula to convert:

gigabytes = megabytes ÷ 1,024

The data storage in gigabytes is equal to the data storage in megabytes divided by 1,024.

For example, here's how to convert 5,000 megabytes to gigabytes using the formula above.
gigabytes = (5,000 MB ÷ 1,024) = 4.882813 GB

Megabytes and gigabytes are both units used to measure data storage. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
