Convert 17.75 gigabytes/second to gigabits/second
17.75 gigabyte/second = 142 gigabit/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 gigabit/second.
Step 1: Convert from gigabyte/second to Bit per Second
17.75 × 8589934592 = 152471339008
Result: 152471339008 Bit per Second
Step 2: Convert from Bit per Second to gigabit/second
152471339008 × 9.31323e-10 = 142
Result: 142 gigabit/second
Direct Conversion Factor
17.75 × 8 = 142
Direct conversion: 17.75 gigabyte/second = 142 gigabit/second
Frequently Asked Questions
How many gigabits/second are in 17.75 gigabytes/second?
There are 142 gigabits/second in 17.75 gigabytes/second.
What is 17.75 gigabytes/second in gigabits/second?
17.75 gigabytes/second is equal to 142 gigabits/second. To perform this conversion yourself using the convention, multiply 17.75 by 8.
How to convert 17.75 gigabytes/second to gigabits/second?
To convert 17.75 gigabytes/second to gigabits/second using the convention, multiply 17.75 by 8. This gives you 142 gigabits/second.
What is the formula to convert gigabytes/second to gigabits/second?
The formula to convert from gigabytes/second to gigabits/second using the convention is: gigabits/second = gigabytes/second × 8. Using this formula, 17.75 gigabytes/second equals 142 gigabits/second.
What is the difference between gigabytes/second and gigabits/second?
The main difference between gigabytes/second and gigabits/second is that 1 gigabytes/second equals 8 gigabits/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 gigabits/second?
gigabyte/second is larger than gigabit/second. Specifically, using the convention, 1 gigabytes/second equals 8 gigabits/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.
