converting kb to mb

When I create filesystems in AIX i often get confused(using smit)
When you specify size in aix, it is asked like this

SIZE of file system (in 512-byte blocks)

I never seem to grasp this, what is the equation to get say
500mb? Or is there a program anyone knows of that does this, like a conversion calculator, or something...
