Worked examples
Converting 5 kilobytes
Multiply 5 by 9.3132257e-07. That gives 0.000005 gibibytes. A quick sanity check: one kilobyte is smaller than one gibibyte, so the number should get smaller — and it does.
Converting 72 kilobytes
72 × 9.3132257e-07 = 0.000067 gibibytes. Working backwards, 0.000067 ÷ 9.3132257e-07 returns 72 kilobytes, which confirms the factor is applied the right way round.
