Is there a simple way to typeset byte units like MB, GB, TB in latex in math mode? How do you typeset 1GB
for example?
You can use siunitx
, which supports both SI- and binary prefixes. Its main macro, \SI
, works in math mode as well as in text:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[binary-units=true]{siunitx}
\begin{document}
For example, $x = \SI{1}{\giga\byte}$ or \SI{1}{\gibi\byte}.
\end{document}
See page 38 of the siunitx
manual for further information.

@drasto: It works on my installation. Are you loading the package with the correct option? Are you redefining
\byte
somewhere? – You Jan 1 '13 at 19:06 -
