5000 MB to GB
5000 megabytes to gigabytes
Decimal (SI) — what most people mean
5000 MB = 5 GB
Binary (IEC): 5000 MB = 4.8828 GB
In the decimal standard (used by storage makers and Google), 1 MB = 1000 of the next unit down, so 5000 MB = 5 GB. Operating systems use the binary standard (×1024), giving 4.8828 GB.

Frequently asked questions
How many gigabytes is 5000 MB?+
5000 MB equals 5 GB using the decimal (SI) standard that drive makers and Google use, or 4.8828 GB using the binary standard that operating systems use.
Why are there two answers?+
Storage is measured two ways: decimal (1 GB = 1000 of the next unit down) and binary (1 GB = 1024). Hard-drive and SSD capacities are advertised in decimal, while Windows and other systems report sizes in binary — which is why a "1 TB" drive shows as about 931 GB in your operating system.
