MB = GB × 1024

Gigabyte → Terabyte

TB = GB × 0.000976563

Terabyte → Gigabyte

GB = TB × 1024

Formula

Mb = GB × 8192

A gigabyte equals 8192 megabits — since 1 GB = 1024 MB and 1 MB = 8 Mb, then 1024 × 8 = 8192 Mb per GB. This is the key conversion for estimating download times: a 10 GB game over 100 Mbps takes (10 × 8192 Mb) ÷ 100 Mbps = 819.2 seconds ≈ 13.7 minutes.
