Conversion Process

This conversion uses Bit per Second as the base unit. We'll first convert gigabit/second to Bit per Second, then convert from Bit per Second to bit/second.

Step 1: Convert from gigabit/second to Bit per Second

12 × 1073741824 = 12884901888

Result: 12884901888 Bit per Second

Step 2: Convert from Bit per Second to bit/second

12884901888 × 1 = 12884901888

Result: 12884901888 bit/second

Direct Conversion Factor

12 × 1073741824 = 12884901888

Direct conversion: 12 gigabit/second = 12884901888 bit/second

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How many bits/second are in 12 gigabits/second?

    There are 12884901888 bits/second in 12 gigabits/second.

  • What is 12 gigabits/second in bits/second?

    12 gigabits/second is equal to 12884901888 bits/second. To perform this conversion yourself using the convention, multiply 12 by 1073741824.

  • How to convert 12 gigabits/second to bits/second?

    To convert 12 gigabits/second to bits/second using the convention, multiply 12 by 1073741824. This gives you 12884901888 bits/second.

  • What is the formula to convert gigabits/second to bits/second?

    The formula to convert from gigabits/second to bits/second using the convention is: bits/second = gigabits/second × 1073741824. Using this formula, 12 gigabits/second equals 12884901888 bits/second.

  • What is the difference between gigabits/second and bits/second?

    The main difference between gigabits/second and bits/second is that 1 gigabits/second equals 1073741824 bits/second 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/second bigger than bits/second?

    gigabit/second is larger than bit/second. Specifically, using the convention, 1 gigabits/second equals 1073741824 bits/second.

  • 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.
