Gb to Byte Converter

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

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

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

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

One Gigabit is equal to 1000000000 bits, while one Byte equals 8 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).

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

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

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

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

$\dfrac{ 125,000,000 }{ 1 } \approx 125000000$

The conversion factor from Gigabit (Gb) to Byte (B) is 125000000. Therefore, any value in Gigabit can be converted to Byte by multiplying it by this factor.

$\boxed{ x\,\mathrm{Gb} = x\times 125000000\,\mathrm{B} }$

Multiply the number of Gigabits by 125,000,000 to obtain the equivalent value in Bytes.
