Byte to Gb Converter

Byte is a basic unit. Its value is defined as 8 bits.

$1\,\mathrm{B} = 8\,\mathrm{bit}$

The Gigabit is a decimal unit. It is defined as 1000^3 bits, which equals 1000000000 bits.

$1\,\mathrm{Gb} = 1,000^{3} \,\mathrm{bit} = 1,000,000,000\,\mathrm{bit}$

One Byte is equal to 8 bits, while one Gigabit equals 1000000000 bits. The conversion factor is obtained by dividing the value of 1 source unit (in bits) by the value of 1 target unit (in bits).

$\dfrac{ 1\,\mathrm{B} }{ 1\,\mathrm{Gb} } = \dfrac{ 8\,\mathrm{bit} }{ 1,000,000,000\,\mathrm{bit} } = \dfrac{ 8 }{ 1,000,000,000 }$

The fraction can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 8, giving the exact conversion factor.

$\dfrac{ 8 }{ 1,000,000,000 } = \dfrac{ 8\div 8 }{ 1,000,000,000\div 8 } = \dfrac{ 1 }{ 125,000,000 }$

The exact factor is 1/125000000. The decimal result is shown to 30 places or fewer when the division terminates earlier.

$\dfrac{ 1 }{ 125,000,000 } \approx 0.000000008$

The conversion factor from Byte (B) to Gigabit (Gb) is 0.000000008. Therefore, any value in Byte can be converted to Gigabit by multiplying it by this factor.

$\boxed{ x\,\mathrm{B} = x\times 0.000000008\,\mathrm{Gb} }$

Multiply the number of Bytes by 0.000000008 to obtain the equivalent value in Gigabits.
