Sometimes, you’d like to use different units of measurements. The total system memory is reported in bytes, for example. Here are some examples how you can turn bytes into GB and still make the result look nice:
$memory = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_ComputerSystem | Select-Object -ExpandProperty TotalPhysicalMemory $memoryGB = $memory/1GB # raw result in bytes $memoryGB # rounding [Int]$memoryGB [Math]::Round($memoryGB) [Math]::Round($memoryGB, 1) # string formatting '{0:n1} GB' -f $memoryGB
The result looks similar to this:
15.8744087219238 16 16 15.9 15.9 GB
