Well, you could just use Math.Round[^]. But 4047660432 Bytes isn't exactly the same as 3.76 GB, the 3.76 is a rounded value in itself. You're never going to get the actual number of Bytes from it

You cannot because you do not have the original value, you will only ever be able to approximately calculate the original value when your are working backwards from a rounded value.

You calculation is wrong: 4,047,660,432 is almost 3.77. Use the windows calculator to check the actual values.

Solution 1

try this :

String f = Convert.ToString(Math.Round(Convert.ToDouble(3.76) * 1073741824)) + " Bytes";
