I'm grasping for the term but my memory won't allow it. So I'll explain, I just want to change how WinRAR displays filesizes in bytes to "something" like gigabytes for ease of understanding. Additionally, I would be grateful if someone would jog my weird memory of the word which should replace "something". Thanks.

You can just do simple maths for rough estimation like
412127124 bytes
=412127.124 KB (divided by 10^3)
=412.127124 MB (divided by 10^6)
=0.412127124 GB (divided by 10^9) and so on

While you should remember that 1024 bytes =1 KB (which i assumed 1000bytes for rough estimate of size)

Thank you. I'm not meaning to be rude but I do know how they're divided by 1024, I was using a Calculator before. I was asking on how to change its display so it would've been easier for me, I don't think that KB display is useful for anyone, it must've been so in the past in WinRAR's infancy where KB used to be the MB back in the day.

Only 2 years later and I have come to help you and everyone else out.
Open Winrar, Go to Options up the top, Settings, File list, Uncheck exact size it will turn from bytes to the a more knowleage size
