How to Convert Gibibytes to Bits
Converting gibibytes (GiB) to bits (b) is straightforward. One gibibyte is equal to 2^30 bytes, and one byte is 8 bits. Therefore, 1 gibibyte is equal to 8 × 2^30 = 2^3 × 2^30 = 2^33 bits.
Formula
Bits = Gibibytes × 2^33
or
b = GiB × 8,589,934,592
Step-by-step process
- Take the measurement in gibibytes
- Multiply that number by 2^33
- The result is the equivalent amount in bits
Examples
- 1 gibibyte = 8,589,934,592 bits
When to Convert Gibibytes to Bits
This conversion is useful in low-level data analysis, network engineering, and anywhere that data needs to be understood at the bit level.
