convert file storage size from one unit of measurement to another

The source number is always in megabytes and I need a script to covert into either MB,GB or TB displayed in a specific format.

Source number examples:

5345376635
34255
5453645846353

The result has to be maximum 2 numbers after the comma

1.13 TB
134.17 TB
413.46 GB
678.45 MB

I know a couple ways to calculate it but how to make it just 2 numbers after comma?

Code:
 EXAMPLE1="`expr $SOURCE / 1024 / 1024` TB"
 EXAMPLE2="$(($SOURCE/1024/1024)) TB"
 EXAMPLE3="`echo|awk '{print '$SOURCE' / 1024 / 1024}'` TB"

NAME
vdltodmx - dmx configuration file parser and printer SYNOPSIS
vdltodmx infile outfile DESCRIPTION
vdltodmx reads the input file, which should be in VDL configuration file format. After a successful parse, a file in Xdmx configuration file format is written to the output file. The VDL file format is used with xmovie, which is available from http://www.llnl.gov/icc/lc/img/xmovie/xmovie.html EXAMPLE
Given the following VDL-format file: 0 2 # # 2560 2048 Left two-thirds [restrict=*:2] 2 :2.1 1280 2048 0 0 0 0 :2.2 1280 2048 1280 0 0 0 4 1280 1024 0 0 1280 1024 0 1024 1280 1024 1280 0 1280 1024 1280 1024 # 2560 2048 Right two-thirds [restrict=*:2] 2 :2.2 1280 2048 0 0 0 0 :2.3 1280 2048 1280 0 0 0 4 1280 1024 1280 0 1280 1024 1280 1024 1280 1024 2560 0 1280 1024 2560 1024 the following DMX-format file will be produced: # # virtual "Left two-thirds" 2560x2048 { display :2.1 1280x2048; display :2.2 1280x2048 @1280x0; } # virtual "Right two-thirds" 2560x2048 { display :2.2 1280x2048; display :2.3 1280x2048 @1280x0; } BUGS
If the VDL file is not in the expected format, the program will probably dump core. SEE ALSO
