Calculating Disc Space

I need some help in determining disc space. I ran the following commands on my IBM RS6000 server and this is what I get

# dfspace
Filesystem 512-blocks Free %Used Iused %Iused Mounted on
/dev/hd4 32768 19832 40% 1225 15% /
/dev/hd2 802816 277256 66% 11035 11% /usr
/dev/hd9var 32768 22648 31% 197 5% /var
/dev/hd3 65536 29600 55% 246 4% /tmp
/dev/hd1 16384 15448 6% 109 6% /home
/dev/lv00 49152 23192 53% 357 6% /versyss
/dev/lv01 6012928 2214864 64% 5168 1% /versyss/data

# dfspace -k
Filesystem 1024-blocks Free %Used Iused %Iused Mounted on
/dev/hd4 16384 9916 40% 1225 15% /
/dev/hd2 401408 138628 66% 11035 11% /usr
/dev/hd9var 16384 11324 31% 197 5% /var
/dev/hd3 32768 14800 55% 246 4% /tmp
/dev/hd1 8192 7724 6% 109 6% /home
/dev/lv00 24576 11596 53% 357 6% /versyss
/dev/lv01 3006464 1107432 64% 5168 1% /versyss/data

Can someone please tell me how to calculate total disc space for the partition and remaining space? One is reported in 512k blocks and one is reported in 1024k blocks.

OR direct me to documentation where I can read and figure this out on my own.

Thanks alot for your help!

REPARTITION(8)						      System Manager's Manual						    REPARTITION(8)

NAME

       repartition - load a partition table

SYNOPSIS

       repartition device [partition-file]

DESCRIPTION

       Repartition  uploads  a new partition table for the partitions of device.  The table is obtained from the first sector of partition-file if
       given, device otherwise.  Device may refer to the whole drive or a primary partition, depending on whether you want to upload  a  partition
       or a subpartition table.  The partitions will be truncated to fit within the enclosing device like the disk driver does, unless the numbers
       are coming from partition-file.

EXAMPLES

       repartition /dev/hd0
       repartition /dev/hd4 /etc/hd4.table

       Reload the partition table of drive 0 setting /dev/hd[1-4], and the subpartition table of /dev/hd4 setting /dev/hd4[a-d] using a file.  The
       latter may be useful if you need more than the 4 subpartitions a single Minix partition gives you.

DIAGNOSTICS

       The new table is printed on standard output.

FILES

       /dev/hd[0-9]

SEE ALSO

       hd(4), part(8).

BUGS

       The disk must be in use for the changes to stick.  The partition table of an idle disk will be reloaded on the first open.
