All those metric prefixes are factors of $1000$ apart, so you just change the exponent on $10$ by $3$. In computerspeak we often use a ratio of $2^{10}=1024 \approx 1000$ for the prefixes. It is not very different.

  • T =$10^{12}$, G=$10^9$, M=$10^6$, K=$10^3$.
  • B=$8$b

So for instance, $x$ Gb to $y$ MB is $x\times10^9$b to $y\times10^6\times8$b.

You can see that $y=\frac{10^3}{8}$. A formula can be derived by this observation...

  • if you want to think of a formula, notice that $$y=x\frac{\text{Gb}}{\text{MB}}=x\times\frac{G}{M}\times\frac{b}{B}$$ – msm Nov 12 '16 at 23:22
