Convert Gigabits to Gigabytes
1 Gigabit = 0.125 Gigabyte
Conversion Process
This conversion uses Bit as the base unit. We'll first convert Gigabit to Bit, then convert from Bit to Gigabyte.
Step 1: Convert from Gigabit to Bit
1 × 1073741824 = 1073741824
Result: 1073741824 Bit
Step 2: Convert from Bit to Gigabyte
1073741824 × 1.16415e-10 = 0.125
Result: 0.125 Gigabyte
Direct Conversion Factor
1 ÷ 8 = 0.125
Direct conversion: 1 Gigabit = 0.125 Gigabyte
Frequently Asked Questions
How many Gigabytes are in 1 Gigabits?
There are 0.125 Gigabytes in 1 Gigabits.
What is 1 Gigabits in Gigabytes?
1 Gigabits is equal to 0.125 Gigabytes. To perform this conversion yourself using the convention, multiply 1 by 0.125.
How to convert 1 Gigabits to Gigabytes?
To convert 1 Gigabits to Gigabytes using the convention, multiply 1 by 0.125. This gives you 0.125 Gigabytes.
What is the formula to convert Gigabits to Gigabytes?
The formula to convert from Gigabits to Gigabytes using the convention is: Gigabytes = Gigabits × 0.125. Using this formula, 1 Gigabits equals 0.125 Gigabytes.
What is the difference between Gigabits and Gigabytes?
The main difference between Gigabits and Gigabytes is that 1 Gigabits equals 0.125 Gigabytes 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 Gigabytes?
Gigabyte is larger than Gigabit. Specifically, using the convention, 1 Gigabits equals 0.125 Gigabytes.
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.
