How many GB in a TB

How many GB in a TB

The conversion of GB to TB involves two data storage metrics used in the world of technology. How many gigabytes are in one terabyte? What is the meaning of a terabyte or a gigabyte? These are some of the common questions people ask before purchasing a memory card, a hard drive or other devices. All these measurement units are convertible from one to another although they might be confusing at first glance.

How many Gigabytes in a Terabyte?

1 terabyte is made up of 1024 gigabytes (binary)

1 TB = 2¹⁰ GB in base 2

1 terabyte is made up of 1000 gigabytes (decimal)

1 TB = 10³ GB in base 10 (SI)

A terabyte (TB) is greater than a gigabyte (GB) – It is 1000 times bigger than a gigabyte. 

How to convert terabytes to Gigabytes in SI

1 terabyte = 1000⁴ bytes

Since 1GB = 1000³, it means that 1 byte = 1000^-3 gigabytes

1 Terabyte = 1000⁴ x 1000^-3 GB

1 Terabyte = 1000¹ Gigabytes

1 Terabyte = 1000 Gigabytes

How to convert terabytes to gigabytes in base 2

1 Terabyte = 2⁴⁰ bytes

1 Terabyte = 1024⁴ bytes

1 byte = 1024^-3 GB

1 Terabyte = 1024⁴ x 1024^-3 GB

1 Terabyte = 1024¹ Gigabytes

1 Terabyte = 2¹⁰ Gigabytes

1 Terabyte = 1024 Gigabytes
