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...

chfs has an example you can referance in times like this. i offten ask myself this one too.

Code:
man chfs:

2. To increase the size of the /test Journaled File System, enter:
     chfs -a size=+8192 /test

     This command increases the size of the /test Journaled File System by 8192
     512-byte blocks, or 4MB.
remember:
1mb=1kb*1024
1kb=2 (512 blocks)
