Gigabits to Bits Converter
1 gigabit = 1,000,000,000 bits
1 gigabit equals 1,000,000,000 bits
How to convert gigabits to bits
Lowercase b means bit; uppercase B means byte (8 bits). Decimal kB, MB and GB use powers of 1000; binary KiB, MiB and GiB use powers of 1024. Choose the label that matches the source measurement.
b = Gb × 1000000000One gigabit is 1000000000 bits, so a single multiplication converts any value.
10,000,000,000 b = 10 × 1000000000Gigabits to bits conversion table

About these units
gigabitGb
Exactly 1,000,000,000 bits.
bitb
The smallest unit of digital information: a single binary digit.
Sources and precision
Table results are rounded to 8 significant digits; formula constants may be rounded to 10. Worked example answers use 6 significant digits. The converter starts at 6 significant digits and lets you change display precision. Calculations use the stored factors without intermediate rounding. Exact unit definitions do not make an input measurement more precise; conventional and measured factors follow the assumptions stated here.
