How to convert between Gigabytes and Gibibytes (GB & GiB)?
1 GB = 0.931322574615 GiB
1 GiB = 1.073741824 GB
***
Apple prefers GB while Microsoft prefers GiB, for example I want a perfact Windows partision with size of 50.00G(from the view of Windows) on my Mac:
so, 119.83122432 GB x 0.931322574615 GiB = 111.601524353 Gibibytes.
+--------------------------------------------------------------+
| total = 119831224320 B = 119.83122432 GB = 111.601524353 GiB |
| win = 50 GiB |
| left = 66.14413312 GB = 61.601524353 GiB |
