Converting bytes to GB in C#?

Question

I was refactoring some old code and came across the following line of code to convert bytes to GB.

decimal GB = KB / 1024 / 1024 / 1024;

I needed it the other way around, convert from 3rd party component literal size in words (e.g. "0 bytes", "1.1 MB") into generic size in bytes. so I used it this way:

        private static long UnformatBytes(string sizeInWords)
    {
        if(string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(sizeInWords))
            return -1;

        string size = sizeInWords.Split(' ').FirstOrDefault();
        double result;
        if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(size) || !double.TryParse(size, out result))
        {
            Debugger.Break();
            return -1;
        }

        int pow;

        if (sizeInWords.IndexOf("byte", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) > -1)
            pow = 0;
        else if (sizeInWords.IndexOf("kb", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) > -1)
            pow = 1;
        else if (sizeInWords.IndexOf("mb", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) > -1)
            pow = 2;
        else if (sizeInWords.IndexOf("gb", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) > -1)
            pow = 3;
        else if (sizeInWords.IndexOf("tb", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) > -1)
            pow = 4;
        else
            return -1;

        return System.Convert.ToInt64((result * Math.Pow(1024, pow)));
    }
