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 byte/second.

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

997 × 1073741824 = 1070520598528

Result: 1070520598528 Bit per Second

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

1070520598528 × 0.125 = 133815074816

Result: 133815074816 byte/second

Direct Conversion Factor

997 × 134217728 = 133815074816

Direct conversion: 997 gigabit/second = 133815074816 byte/second

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How many bytes/second are in 997 gigabits/second?

    There are 133815074816 bytes/second in 997 gigabits/second.

  • What is 997 gigabits/second in bytes/second?

    997 gigabits/second is equal to 133815074816 bytes/second. To perform this conversion yourself using the convention, multiply 997 by 134217728.

  • How to convert 997 gigabits/second to bytes/second?

    To convert 997 gigabits/second to bytes/second using the convention, multiply 997 by 134217728. This gives you 133815074816 bytes/second.

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

    The formula to convert from gigabits/second to bytes/second using the convention is: bytes/second = gigabits/second × 134217728. Using this formula, 997 gigabits/second equals 133815074816 bytes/second.

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

    The main difference between gigabits/second and bytes/second is that 1 gigabits/second equals 134217728 bytes/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 bytes/second?

    gigabit/second is larger than byte/second. Specifically, using the convention, 1 gigabits/second equals 134217728 bytes/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.
