Quick estimate in your head
For a rough answer, multiply by about 1000: 4 × 1000 ≈ 4,000 kib, against the exact 4,096 kib (2.3% out). Good enough to check that a calculated result is sensible.
Common mistakes
The usual slip is using the factor the wrong way round. A mebibyte is bigger than a kibibyte, so the number of kibibytes must come out larger than the number of mebibytes. If your answer goes the other way, divide instead of multiplying.
