How to Convert Kilobits Per Second to Gigabits Per Second
To convert kilobits per second to gigabits per second, divide by 1,000,000. Both units measure network bandwidth in bits per second—the difference is simply the scale. See also: convert Gigabits Per Second to Kilobits Per Second.
Kbps: A kilobit per second is 1,000 bits per second. Common for dial-up and low-speed connections. Common uses include Dial-up internet, audio streaming, VoIP calls. See also: Kilobits Per Second to Petabits Per Second calculator.
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. Related: Terabytes Per Second to Gigabits Per Second converter.
1 Kbps = 0.000001 Gbps — or equivalently, 1 Gbps = 1,000,000Kbps.
Kbps to Gbps Conversion Formula
// Convert Kbps to Gbps
Gbps = Kbps × 0.000001
// Reverse: Convert Gbps to Kbps
Kbps = Gbps × 1,000,000
