Convert 979 gigabytes/second to bits/second
979 gigabyte/second = 8409545965568 bit/second
Conversion Process
This conversion uses Bit per Second as the base unit. We'll first convert gigabyte/second to Bit per Second, then convert from Bit per Second to bit/second.
Step 1: Convert from gigabyte/second to Bit per Second
979 × 8589934592 = 8409545965568
Result: 8409545965568 Bit per Second
Step 2: Convert from Bit per Second to bit/second
8409545965568 × 1 = 8409545965568
Result: 8409545965568 bit/second
Direct Conversion Factor
979 × 8589934592 = 8409545965568
Direct conversion: 979 gigabyte/second = 8409545965568 bit/second
Frequently Asked Questions
How many bits/second are in 979 gigabytes/second?

What is 979 gigabytes/second in bits/second?
979 gigabytes/second is equal to 8409545965568 bits/second. To perform this conversion yourself using the convention, multiply 979 by 8589934592.
How to convert 979 gigabytes/second to bits/second?
To convert 979 gigabytes/second to bits/second using the convention, multiply 979 by 8589934592. This gives you 8409545965568 bits/second.
What is the formula to convert gigabytes/second to bits/second?
The formula to convert from gigabytes/second to bits/second using the convention is: bits/second = gigabytes/second × 8589934592. Using this formula, 979 gigabytes/second equals 8409545965568 bits/second.
What is the difference between gigabytes/second and bits/second?
The main difference between gigabytes/second and bits/second is that 1 gigabytes/second equals 8589934592 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 gigabytes/second bigger than bits/second?
gigabyte/second is larger than bit/second. Specifically, using the convention, 1 gigabytes/second equals 8589934592 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.
