Common mistakes and definitions

Data units can be base-10 (kB/MB/GB) or base-2 (KiB/MiB/GiB). Always confirm the standard used in your context (storage devices, OS reporting, network plans).

Mixing base-10 (kB/MB/GB) with base-2 (KiB/MiB/GiB) units.
Assuming 1 GB always equals 1024 MB in every context.
Rounding file sizes before converting, which can amplify error at scale.
