How to Convert Gigabytes to Megabits

To convert gigabytes to megabits, multiply by 8 then adjust for scale. This converts byte-based storage measurements to bit-based units. Try the Megabits to Gigabytes.

GB is a byte-based unit used for measuring file sizes and storage capacity. You might also need: GB → Kb.

Mb is a bit-based unit—multiply bytes by 8 to get bits. Learn more: convert nibble to Mb.

1 GB = 8,000 Mb (using SI decimal standard) — which means there are 8,000megabits in every gigabyte.

GB to Mb Conversion Formula

// Convert GB to Mb

Mb = GB × 8,000

// Reverse: Convert Mb to GB

GB = Mb × 0.000125

Gigabyte to Megabit Conversion Examples

100 GB = 800,000 Mb

256 GB = 2,048,000 Mb

500 GB = 4,000,000 Mb

1,000 GB = 8,000,000 Mb

2,048 GB = 16,384,000 Mb

What Is a Gigabyte?

A gigabyte is 1,000 megabytes or 1,000,000,000 bytes using the SI decimal standard. This is what hard drive manufacturers typically use. Related: Kib to Mib calculator.

The gigabyte is a SI decimal unit of digital information storage. It uses base 1,000 following the SI (International System of Units) standard. See also: GB/s to YiB/s converter.

Common uses: Movies, video games, smartphone storage, USB drives, cloud storage plans Try the GB to Yb.

1 GB = 8 × 10⁹ bits = 1 × 10⁹ bytes.

The gigabyte can be abbreviated as GB; for example, 1 gigabyte can be written as 1 GB.
