In technical terms,

1 GB = 1024 MB
1 MB = 1024 KB
1 KB = 1024 BYTES

Therefore,
1 GB = 1024^3 BYTES

But companies assume,

1 GB = 1000 MB
1 MB = 1000 KB
1 KB = 1000 BYTES

Therefore, 500 GB = 500000 MB (500 x (1000^3) Bytes) in their terms (The memory space companies offer).

1 GB OFFERS 1024^3 BYTES

YOU ARE OFFERED 500 x (1000^3) BYTES

Converting it into GB gives

[500 x (1000^3)] / (1024 ^ 3) = 467.29 ~ 465 GB.
