One point three two, or one three two if it’s obvious from context where the decimal point is. That’s how you’re meant to pronounce digits after the decimal point in general.
I’d say one point thirty-two. As others noted, much depends on geography.
Personally, I say the “actual” number up to 3 or 4 decimal places, with a lot of the reason depending on the specific context. If I had to asses, I’d say I say the “whole” number in over 50% of cases for 3 digits, and in about 10% for 4 digits. Anything over 4 decimal places and I fall back to individual digits.
just one-three-two, the point is implied
The former.
One point three two. To me, thirty two is an integer.
The only way you could use ‘thirty two’ correctly for that number would be ‘one and thirty two hundredths’ which would be pretty unusual.
Agree. For things like semantic versioning, in which “1.20.1” and “1.2.1” are two different things, you want to pronounce them “one point twenty point one” and “one point two point one”, respectively. But that is a bit of an outlier. File size should be pronounced “normally”, because “1.20” and “1.2” are the same value.
I disagree. I would personally find one point two zero point one to be more natural and easier to understand.

I disagree with that, because we’re dealing with a number and not a fraction. Linux kernel 4.20 is not equal to Linux kernel 4.2, we’re actually dealing with the integer 20 here. (yes, alphabetical sorting on a download server has lead me to download an outdated kernel version once)
Don’t you know that my head canon is universal canon? /s
You make a compelling point. I concede to your logic, but refuse to change my ways.
In that case it’s actually the twentieth (or more likely twenty first) minor version though, it’s not actually a decimal
Usually one point three two
Either way
Either way but usually the former
Is that either way or either way?
The second you heathen.
Both depending on what I feel like saying.
First question, and it’s important: Are you Doc Brown?
I’m gonna have to side against Doc Brown on this one, as much as it pains me to say.
One point thirty two
One point four four
I have heard people drop the “point” and say “One Fourty-four”.
Tree fiddy!
criminal!
“One fourty-four Em Bee floppy”
That’s exactly how they said it!
that’s how i’d say it in hungarian, except i’d drop the MB too. “egy negyvennégyes flopi”
Heresy!
I agree that the precision is not that valuable as some have said. I’d just read the numbers off as one point two three megabytes since anyone who cares can reconstruct the number, anyone who doesn’t can stick to the first few sig figs.
For 257.62 GB I’d say “two hundred fifty seven point six two”. Yep. I put in the effort for the most significant of the digits, I dont bother beyond that.
8249.19 GB? About 8 terabytes. Doesnt really matter anymore.
One thousand three hundred and twenty kb
