Based on the provided diagram and steps outlined earlier, the formula for converting the Gigabit (Gbit) to Gigabyte (GB) can be expressed as follows:

diamond CONVERSION FORMULA GB = Gbit ÷ 8

Now, let's apply the aforementioned formula and explore the manual conversion process from Gigabit (Gbit) to Gigabyte (GB). To streamline the calculation further, we can simplify the formula for added convenience.

FORMULA

Gigabytes = Gigabits ÷ 8

STEP 1

Gigabytes = Gigabits x (1 ÷ 8)

STEP 2

Gigabytes = Gigabits x 0.125
