HD GB conversions

Sorry if this is in the wrong area. I am not sure where to put this question.

HD manufacturers usually use the 1000 scale for measuring their HD capacity instead of 1024 which is way more common with computers. What would 750 GB on the 1000 scale convert to on the 1024 scale and how would you go about solving this?

Code:

750*1000^3/1024^3
750/1.024^3
