calculating the filesystem space

Hi,

Just wanted to confirm that what Im doing is correct to calculate the space allocated to filesystem:

>df -k .
Filesystem 1024-blocks Free %Used Iused %Iused Mounted on
/test 48720000 9337904 81% 14846 1% /home

The space allocated = 48720000/1024 = 47578 MB = 47578/1024 = 46 GB

Is this right?

Thanks
D
