How to Convert Bytes to Gigabits

To convert a measurement in bytes to a measurement in gigabits, divide the data storage by the following conversion ratio: 134,217,728 bytes/gigabit.

Since one gigabit is equal to 134,217,728 bytes, you can use this simple formula to convert:

gigabits = bytes ÷ 134,217,728

The data storage in gigabits is equal to the data storage in bytes divided by 134,217,728.

For example, here's how to convert 500,000,000 bytes to gigabits using the formula above.
gigabits = (500,000,000 B ÷ 134,217,728) = 3.72529 Gb

Bytes and gigabits are both units used to measure data storage. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.

What Is a Byte?

A byte is a group of eight binary digits or bits. Most computers use one 8-bit byte as the smallest size of addressable memory.

Multiples of bytes are represented using SI prefixes such as kilo, mega, giga, or tera.

Bytes can be abbreviated as B; for example, 1 byte can be written as 1 B.

You can use our binary calculator to convert a number of bits to other number systems such as hex or decimal.

What Is a Gigabit?

In the International System of Quantities, one gigabit is equal to 1,000,000,000 bits, or 109 bits. However, the gigabit is commonly used interchangeably with the gibibit (Gib), which is equal to 1,073,741,824 bits or 230 bits in the binary system.

So, depending on the context, one gigabit is equal to 1,000,000,000 or 1,073,741,824 bits.

Gigabits can be abbreviated as Gb; for example, 1 gigabit can be written as 1 Gb.
