A gigabit is 1,000 megabits or 1,000,000,000 bits. Used for high-speed network connections.
View the gigabit data unit pageHow to Convert Gigabytes to Gigabits
To convert gigabytes to gigabits, multiply by 8 then adjust for scale. This converts byte-based storage measurements to bit-based units.
GB is a byte-based unit used for measuring file sizes and storage capacity.
Gb is a bit-based unit—multiply bytes by 8 to get bits. Related: Petabytes to Bytes.
1 GB = 8 Gb (using SI decimal standard) — which means there are 8gigabits in every gigabyte.
GB to Gb conversion rate: 1 gigabyte equals 8gigabits — the standard gigabyte to gigabit data storage conversion used by this calculator.
