How do I convert bytes (B), kilobytes (KB), megabytes (MB) and gigabytes (GB)?

This calculator will convert different data sizes which is handy when our plans are measured in MB or GB but often download sizes of files etc are in a different unit, such as bytes (B) or kilobytes (KB)

BYTE CALCULATOR
Specify an amount of data in either B, KB, MB or GB and select the corresponding convert button to see its equivalent sizes:

Bytes (B)
Kilobytes (KB)
Megabytes (MB)
Gigabytes (GB)
   

What does it mean when I see e- or e+ in the byte calculator? 
The e stands for exponent, and is a short way of telling you how big ( e+) or small ( e-) a number actually is when you haven't got much room. 

To understand the actual size of the number you need to move the decimal point the number of times indicated. For eg, if there is an e+7 at the end, you'd move the decimal point 7 spaces to the right. If the number has an e-6, you'd move it to 6 spaces to the left
