Gib to EB Converter

The Gibibit is a binary unit. It is defined as 1024^3 bits, which equals 1073741824 bits.

$1\,\mathrm{Gib} = 1,024^{3} \,\mathrm{bit} = 1,073,741,824\,\mathrm{bit}$

The Exabyte is a decimal unit. It is defined as 1000^6 bytes, which equals 1000000000000000000 bytes. Since 1 Byte = 8 bits, multiply the number of Bytes by 8 to express the value in bits.

$1\,\mathrm{EB} = 1,000^{6} \,\mathrm{B} \times 8\, = 8,000,000,000,000,000,000\,\mathrm{bit}$

One Gibibit is equal to 1073741824 bits, while one Exabyte equals 8000000000000000000 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).

$\dfrac{ 1\,\mathrm{Gib} }{ 1\,\mathrm{EB} } = \dfrac{ 1,073,741,824\,\mathrm{bit} }{ 8,000,000,000,000,000,000\,\mathrm{bit} } = \dfrac{ 1,073,741,824 }{ 8,000,000,000,000,000,000 }$

The fraction can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 2,097,152, giving the exact conversion factor.

$\dfrac{ 1,073,741,824 }{ 8,000,000,000,000,000,000 } = \dfrac{ 1,073,741,824\div 2,097,152 }{ 8,000,000,000,000,000,000\div 2,097,152 } = \dfrac{ 512 }{ 3,814,697,265,625 }$

The exact factor is 512/3814697265625. The decimal result is shown to 30 places or fewer when the division terminates earlier.

$\dfrac{ 512 }{ 3,814,697,265,625 } \approx 0.000000000134217728$

The conversion factor from Gibibit (Gib) to Exabyte (EB) is 0.000000000134217728. Therefore, any value in Gibibit can be converted to Exabyte by multiplying it by this factor.

$\boxed{ x\,\mathrm{Gib} = x\times 0.000000000134217728\,\mathrm{EB} }$

Multiply the number of Gibibits by 0.000000000134217728 to obtain the equivalent value in Exabytes.
