Converting 1.24 gigabytes (GB) to megabytes (MB) results in 1240 MB.
Since 1 GB equals 1024 MB, multiplying 1.24 by 1024 gives us the total MB. This is because the binary measurement system, used by computers, defines 1 GB as 1024 MB, making the conversion straightforward by scaling the gigabytes up to megabytes accordingly.
Conversion Result
1.24 gb equals 1240 mb.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert gigabytes to megabytes multiplies the gigabyte value by 1024, because computer storage units follow the binary system where 1 GB equals 1024 MB. For example, to convert 2 GB, multiply 2 by 1024, resulting in 2048 MB. This method ensures precise size calculations in binary terms.
Conversion Example
- Convert 0.5 GB:
- Multiply 0.5 by 1024
- 0.5 x 1024 = 512 MB
- Convert 3 GB:
- 3 x 1024 = 3072 MB
- Convert 10 GB:
- 10 x 1024 = 10240 MB
- Convert 1.75 GB:
- 1.75 x 1024 = 1792 MB
- Convert 5.2 GB:
- 5.2 x 1024 = 5331.2 MB

Conversion Definitions
gb
Gigabyte (GB) is a measurement of digital storage capacity, where 1 GB equals 1024 megabytes in binary system used by computers, representing a large amount of data, such as files, applications, or media, used to quantify storage sizes in tech devices.
mb
Megabyte (MB) is a unit of digital information equal to 1024 kilobytes, used to measure data size, storage, or bandwidth, commonly seen in files, memory, and data transfer rates, representing a medium scale of digital data size.
Conversion FAQs
Why is the conversion factor 1024 instead of 1000 for GB to MB?
The conversion uses 1024 because computers operate on binary, where 1 GB equals 1024 MB, not 1000 MB. This binary system aligns with how memory is structured in digital devices, making the conversion precise for storage calculations.
Can I use the decimal system instead of binary for this conversion?
Yes, in some contexts, especially in marketing, 1 GB is considered as 1000 MB, but for technical accuracy in computing, 1024 MB per GB is standard. Always check whether the decimal or binary system is used in your specific case.
What happens if I input a negative value in the converter?
Inputting a negative number will result in a negative MB value, which isn’t practical for storage sizes but demonstrates the calculator’s ability to handle any numeric input. Negative sizes don’t represent real storage capacities.
Is the conversion the same for SSDs and RAM?
Yes, the conversion from GB to MB remains the same regardless of storage or RAM. However, actual device capacities may vary slightly due to formatting, system reservations, or manufacturer calculations.
