Convert Gigabytes to Kilobytes
1 gigabyte is 1,000,000 kB. One gigabyte is exactly 1000000 kilobytes.
One gigabyte is 1000000 kilobytes. To convert gigabytes to kilobytes, multiply by 1000000; to go the other way, divide by 1000000 or multiply by 1.0000 × 10^-6. The factor is exact rather than rounded: it follows from IEC 80000-13. Exactly one billion bytes.

Factors are entered by hand from IEC 80000-13 rather than derived from a units library, so the ones that terminate are exact rather than rounded.
How do you convert gigabytes to kilobytes?
- 1.Take the measurement in gigabytes.
- 2.Multiply by 1000000 — that is how many kilobytes fit in one gigabyte.
- 3.To go back the other way, divide by 1000000, or multiply by 1.0000 × 10^-6.

What are gigabytes and kilobytes?
- Gigabyte (GB)
- Exactly one billion bytes. This is why a "1 TB" drive shows as roughly 931 GB in Windows: the drive is sold in decimal and displayed in binary.
- Kilobyte (kB)
- Exactly 1,000 bytes under the SI prefix, which is what drive manufacturers and network speeds use. Not 1,024 — that is the kibibyte.
