How to Convert Bits Per Second to Gigabits Per Second

To convert bits per second to gigabits per second, divide by 1,000,000,000. Both units measure network bandwidth in bits per second—the difference is simply the scale. You might also need: Gbps to bps conversion rate.

bps: The fundamental unit of data transfer rate, representing one bit transmitted per second. Common uses include Serial communications, legacy modems, low-speed sensors. Try the calculate bps to KB/s.

Gbps: A gigabit per second is 1,000 megabits per second. Used for fiber internet and enterprise networking. Typically used for Fiber internet, enterprise networks, data center connections, 10GbE. See also: how many Gigabits Per Second in a GB/s.

1 bps = 0.000000001 Gbps — or equivalently, 1 Gbps = 1,000,000,000bps.

bps to Gbps Conversion Formula

// Convert bps to Gbps

Gbps = bps × 0.000000001

// Reverse: Convert Gbps to bps

bps = Gbps × 1,000,000,000

bps to Gbps Conversion Examples

10 bps = 0.00000001 Gbps

50 bps = 0.00000005 Gbps

100 bps = 0.0000001 Gbps

500 bps = 0.0000005 Gbps

1,000 bps = 0.000001 Gbps

What Is Bit Per Second (bps)?

The fundamental unit of data transfer rate, representing one bit transmitted per second. Use our how many Tibps in Yottabytes Per Second.

The bit per second is a bit-based bandwidth unit measuring data transfer speed, network bandwidth, or throughput capacity. Check out our Exbibits to b.
