Convert Gigabytes to Gigabits
1 Gigabyte = 8 Gigabit
Conversion Process
This conversion uses Bit as the base unit. We'll first convert Gigabyte to Bit, then convert from Bit to Gigabit.
Step 1: Convert from Gigabyte to Bit
1 × 8589934592 = 8589934592
Result: 8589934592 Bit
Step 2: Convert from Bit to Gigabit
8589934592 × 9.31323e-10 = 8
Result: 8 Gigabit
Direct Conversion Factor
1 × 8 = 8
Direct conversion: 1 Gigabyte = 8 Gigabit
Frequently Asked Questions
How many Gigabits are in 1 Gigabytes?
There are 8 Gigabits in 1 Gigabytes.
What is 1 Gigabytes in Gigabits?
1 Gigabytes is equal to 8 Gigabits. To perform this conversion yourself using the convention, multiply 1 by 8.
How to convert 1 Gigabytes to Gigabits?
To convert 1 Gigabytes to Gigabits using the convention, multiply 1 by 8. This gives you 8 Gigabits.
What is the formula to convert Gigabytes to Gigabits?
The formula to convert from Gigabytes to Gigabits using the convention is: Gigabits = Gigabytes × 8. Using this formula, 1 Gigabytes equals 8 Gigabits.
What is the difference between Gigabytes and Gigabits?
The main difference between Gigabytes and Gigabits is that 1 Gigabytes equals 8 Gigabits 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 Gigabytes bigger than Gigabits?
Gigabyte is larger than Gigabit. Specifically, using the convention, 1 Gigabytes equals 8 Gigabits.
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.
