bps to Gbps - Conversion Formula and Steps

Bit and Gigabit are units of digital information used to measure storage capacity and data transfer rate. Bit is one of the very basic digital unit where as Gigabit is a decimal unit. One Gigabit is equal to 1000^3 bits. There are 1,000,000,000 Bits in one Gigabit. - view the difference between both units

The formula of converting the Bits Per Second to Gigabits Per Second is represented as follows :

Gbps = bps / 10003

Now let us apply the above formula and, write down the steps to convert from Bits Per Second (bps) to Gigabits Per Second (Gbps). This way, we can try to simplify and reduce to an easy to apply formula.

FORMULA

Gigabits Per Second = Bits Per Second / 10003

STEP 1

Gigabits Per Second = Bits Per Second / (1000x1000x1000)

STEP 2

Gigabits Per Second = Bits Per Second / 1000000000

STEP 3

Gigabits Per Second = Bits Per Second x (1 / 1000000000)

STEP 4

Gigabits Per Second = Bits Per Second x 0.000000001

Example : If we apply the above Formula and steps, conversion from 10 bps to Gbps, will be processed as below.

  1. = 10 / 10003
  2. = 10 / (1000x1000x1000)
  3. = 10 / 1000000000
  4. = 10 x (1 / 1000000000)
  5. = 10 x 0.000000001
  6. = 0.00000001
  7. i.e. 10 bps is equal to 0.00000001 Gbps.

(Result rounded off to 40 decimal positions.)

You can use above formula and steps to convert Bits Per Second to Gigabits Per Second using any of the programming language such as Java, Python or Powershell.

Conversion Units

Definition : Bit

A Bit (short for "binary digit") is the basic unit of information in computing and digital communications. It is a binary value, meaning it can have one of two values=> 0 or 1. Bits are used to represent data in computers and other electronic devices. They are the building blocks of digital information, and are used to store, transmit, and process data.

Definition : Gigabit

A Gigabit (Gb or Gbit) is a unit of digital information that is equal to 1,000,000,000 bits and it is commonly used to express data transfer speeds, such as the speed of an internet connection and to measure the size of a file. In the context of data storage and memory, the binary-based unit of gibibit (Gibit) is used instead.

Python Code for bps to Gbps Conversion

You can use below code to convert any value in Bits Per Second to Gigabits Per Second in Python.

bitsPerSecond = int(input("Enter Bits Per Second: "))
gigabitsPerSecond = bitsPerSecond / (1000*1000*1000)
print("{} Bits Per Second = {} Gigabits Per Second".format(bitsPerSecond,gigabitsPerSecond))

The first line of code will prompt the user to enter the Bits Per Second as an input. The value of Gigabits Per Second is calculated on the next line, and the code in third line will display the result.
