presuming that these are the results of:

# df

try using

# df -h

for human readable output, instead. That'll tell you MB, GB, etc. Much 
more readable for most folks.

You should see headings like so:

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on

Followed by a nicely formatted list of devices, their sizes, the amount 
of each used in MB/GB and percent, and the mount point of each partition.
