The conversion
Multiply the GB value by 1,000. 2 GB is 2,000 MB. 2 GiB is 2,048 MiB.
Which system to use
Use decimal KB, MB, and GB when you are matching a label that counts by thousands. Use binary KiB, MiB, and GiB when a spec counts by 1,024. Do not add the two together as if they were the same unit.
