  • What is the formula to convert Gigabits to Bytes?

    The formula to convert from Gigabits to Bytes using the convention is: Bytes = Gigabits × 134217728. Using this formula, 173 Gigabits equals 23219666944 Bytes.

  • What is the difference between Gigabits and Bytes?

    The main difference between Gigabits and Bytes is that 1 Gigabits equals 134217728 Bytes using the convention. Note that data storage units commonly use two conventions: the decimal (SI) based on powers of 1000 (kB, MB, GB, etc.) and the binary (IEC) based on powers of 1024 (KiB, MiB, GiB, etc.). This calculator uses the convention.

  • Is Gigabits bigger than Bytes?

    Gigabit is larger than Byte. Specifically, using the convention, 1 Gigabits equals 134217728 Bytes.

  • Why is there confusion between KB and KiB, MB and MiB, etc.?

    Historically, "kilobyte" (KB) was often used informally to mean 1024 bytes (2^10). However, the SI prefix "kilo" officially means 1000 (10^3). This led to confusion. The IEC introduced binary prefixes like kibibyte (KiB) specifically for 1024 bytes, mebibyte (MiB) for 1024 KiB, etc., to provide clarity. SI prefixes (kB, MB, GB) are now correctly used for powers of 1000, while IEC prefixes (KiB, MiB, GiB) are used for powers of 1024.

  • What is the difference between bits and bytes?

    A bit is the smallest unit of data, representing a binary value of either 0 or 1. A byte is a common unit of digital information that consists of 8 bits. Data storage capacity is typically measured in bytes and their larger multiples.
