How to Convert Gigabytes to Bits

To convert a measurement in gigabytes to a measurement in bits, multiply the data storage by the following conversion ratio: 8,589,934,592 bits/gigabyte.

Since one gigabyte is equal to 8,589,934,592 bits, you can use this simple formula to convert:

bits = gigabytes × 8,589,934,592

The data storage in bits is equal to the data storage in gigabytes multiplied by 8,589,934,592.

For example, here's how to convert 5 gigabytes to bits using the formula above.
bits = (5 GB × 8,589,934,592) = 42,949,672,960 b

How Many Bits Are in a Gigabyte?

There are 8,589,934,592 bits in a gigabyte, which is why we use this value in the formula above.

1 GB = 8,589,934,592 b

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

What Is a Gigabyte?

In the International System of Quantities, one gigabyte is equal to 1,000,000,000 bytes, or 109 bytes. However, the gigabyte is commonly used interchangeably with the gibibyte (GiB), which is equal to 1,073,741,824 bytes or 230 bytes in the binary system.

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

Gigabytes can be abbreviated as GB; for example, 1 gigabyte can be written as 1 GB.

What Is a Bit?

A bit, or more formally, a binary digit, is the smallest unit of information stored in digital systems. A bit can hold one of two possible values: one or zero.

Computers represent bits in circuits using a variety of techniques, but the most common way is using changes in voltage to represent the bit's value of one or zero.

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

Bits can be abbreviated as b; for example, 1 bit 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.
