Convert Mebibytes to Gibibytes
1 mebibyte is 0.000977 GiB. One mebibyte is exactly 0.0009765625 gibibytes.
One mebibyte is 9.7656 × 10^-4 gibibytes. To convert mebibytes to gibibytes, multiply by 9.7656 × 10^-4; to go the other way, divide by 9.7656 × 10^-4 or multiply by 1024. The factor is exact rather than rounded: it follows from IEC 80000-13. Exactly 1,048,576 bytes.
