Quick estimate in your head
For a rough answer, multiply by about 1000000: 6 × 1000000 ≈ 6,000,000 kib, against the exact 6,291,456 kib (4.6% 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 gibibyte is bigger than a kibibyte, so the number of kibibytes must come out larger than the number of gibibytes. If your answer goes the other way, divide instead of multiplying.
