This should do it. Note that I've set the accuracy to one decimal place: using System; class Program { static void Main() { string bytesString = 2145374208; Console.WriteLine({0} bytesbytesString); ulong bytes = UInt64.Parse(bytesString); string mb = ConvertToMegabytes(bytes); string gb = ConvertToGigabytes(bytes); Console.WriteLine(equals {0} mb); Console.WriteLine(equals {0} gb); Console.ReadLine(); } static string ConvertToMegabytes(ulong bytes) { return ((decimal)bytes/1024M/1024M).ToString(F1) +MB; } static string ConvertToGigabytes(ulong bytes) { return ((decimal)bytes/1024M/1024M/1024M).ToString(F1) +GB; } }
