Simple powers of 10.
K (as in Kilobits) = 1 x 1000
M (Megabits) = 1 x 100,000
G (Gigabits) = 1 x 1, 000,000
So, 12 Megabits = 0.012 Gigabits.
What are you trying to measure?
Disk spaced and system memory are usually measured in GigaBytes.
A byte = 8 bits.
Communication speed (like a dial up modem, DSL, Cable modem, etc) is usually measured in bits.
For example DSL speed can range from 786 Kbits to 3,000 Kbits (or 3 Megabits).
