To convert a measurement in kilobytes to a measurement in gigabits, divide the data storage by the following conversion ratio: 131,072 kilobytes/gigabit.

Since one gigabit is equal to 131,072 kilobytes, you can use this simple formula to convert:

gigabits = kilobytes ÷ 131,072

The data storage in gigabits is equal to the data storage in kilobytes divided by 131,072.

For example, here's how to convert 500,000 kilobytes to gigabits using the formula above.
gigabits = (500,000 kB ÷ 131,072) = 3.814697 Gb

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

What Is a Kilobyte?

In the International System of Quantities, one kilobyte is equal to 1,000 bytes, or 103 bytes. However, the kilobyte is commonly used interchangeably with the kibibyte (KiB), which is equal to 1,024 bytes or 210 bytes in the binary system.

So, depending on the context, one kilobyte is equal to 1,000 or 1,024 bytes.

Kilobytes can be abbreviated as kB; for example, 1 kilobyte can be written as 1 kB.

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.
