A gigabit is a unit used to measure data storage.
Gigabits can be abbreviated as Gb; for example, 1 gigabit can be written as 1 Gb.
How Much 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.
How to Convert Gigabits
To convert gigabits to another unit of data storage, you need to multiply the value by a conversion factor. A conversion factor is a numerical value used to change the units of a measurement without changing the value.[1]
You can find the conversion factors for gigabits in the conversion table below.
Then, multiply the data storage measurement by the conversion factor to find the equivalent value in the desired unit of measurement.
gigabits × conversion factor = result
You can also use a calculator, such as one of the converters below, for the conversion.
