My macbook has 16GB RAM, but when I check my computer's total bytes with NodeJS or Go it reports 17179869184 bytes.
If I look at Google's calculator (e.g. do a google search "convert bytes to gb") it says:
- For GB divide bytes by 1e+9
- For MB divide bytes by 1e+6
The Google search calculators therefore give 17.179869184 GB and 17179.869184 MB.
However I've also seen the formula as:
- For GB divide bytes by 1024 / 1024 / 1024
- For MB divide bytes by 1024 / 1024
Which results in 16384 MB and exactly 16GB.
Which calculation is correct? Is my macbook 16GB or 17GB? Thanks.
