(Decimal Unit)

The formula of converting the Gibibit to Gigabyte is represented as follows :

GB = Gibit x 10243 / (8x10003)

Note : Here we are converting the units between different standards. The source unit Gibibit is Binary where as the target unit Gigabyte is Decimal. In such scenario, first we need to convert the source unit to the basic unit - Bit - multiply with 1024^3, and then convert to target unit by dividing with 8x1000^3 .

Now let us apply the above formula and, write down the steps to convert from Gibibit (Gibit) to Gigabyte (GB).

  1. STEP 1 → Gigabyte = Gibibit x 10243 / (8x10003)
  2. STEP 2 → Gigabyte = Gibibit x (1024x1024x1024) / (8x1000x1000x1000)
  3. STEP 3 → Gigabyte = Gibibit x 1073741824 / 8000000000
  4. STEP 4 → Gigabyte = Gibibit x 0.134217728

Example : If we apply the above steps, conversion from 10 Gibit to GB, will be processed as below.

  1. = 10 x 10243 / (8x10003)
  2. = 10 x (1024x1024x1024) / (8x1000x1000x1000)
  3. = 10 x 1073741824 / 8000000000
  4. = 10 x 0.134217728
  5. = 1.34217728
  6. i.e. 10 Gibit is equal to 1.34217728 GB.

(Result rounded off to 40 decimal positions.)

You can use above formula and steps to convert Gibibit to Gigabyte using any of the programming language such as Java, Python or Powershell.

Definition : Gigabyte

A Gigabyte (GB) is a unit of digital information that is equal to 1,000,000,000 bytes (or 8,000,000,000 bits) and commonly used to measure the storage capacity of computer hard drives, flash drives, and other digital storage devices. It is also used to express data transfer speeds and in the context of data storage and memory, the binary-based unit of Gibibyte (GiB) is used instead.
