The working
The factor below is an exact definition rather than a measurement, so nothing is approximated in the arithmetic. The only rounding on this page happens where a number is displayed.
1 megabyte = 0.001000 gigabytes 40 × 0.001000 = 0.040
How much precision do you need?
Each row is the same answer cut at a different number of decimals, with what that choice costs you. Pick the shortest row whose error is smaller than whatever you are measuring with.
| Rounded to | Answer (GB) | Off by |
|---|---|---|
| Whole number | 0 | −0.04000 |
| 1 decimal | 0.0 | −0.04000 |
| 2 decimals | 0.04 | exact |
Round trip: take 0.040 GB back the other way and you land on 40.0000 MB — a drift of 0.0000 MB. That gap is the rounding, not the conversion.
