Gib to Gb 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 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 Gibibit is equal to 1073741824 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).

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

The fraction can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 512, giving the exact conversion factor.

$\dfrac{ 1,073,741,824 }{ 1,000,000,000 } = \dfrac{ 1,073,741,824\div 512 }{ 1,000,000,000\div 512 } = \dfrac{ 2,097,152 }{ 1,953,125 }$

The exact factor is 2097152/1953125. The decimal result is shown to 30 places or fewer when the division terminates earlier.

$\dfrac{ 2,097,152 }{ 1,953,125 } \approx 1.073741824$

The conversion factor from Gibibit (Gib) to Gigabit (Gb) is 1.073741824. Therefore, any value in Gibibit can be converted to Gigabit by multiplying it by this factor.

$\boxed{ x\,\mathrm{Gib} = x\times 1.073741824\,\mathrm{Gb} }$

Multiply the number of Gibibits by 1.073741824 to obtain the equivalent value in Gigabits.
