Gbit to MiB - Conversion Formula and Steps

Gigabit and Mebibyte are units of digital information used to measure storage capacity and data transfer rate. Gigabit is a decimal standard unit where as Mebibyte is binary. One Gigabit is equal to 1000^3 bits. One Mebibyte is equal to 1024^2 bytes. There are 0.008388608 Gigabits in one Mebibyte. - view the difference between both units

(Binary Unit)

The formula of converting the Gigabit to Mebibyte is represented as follows :

MiB = Gbit x 10003 / (8x10242)

Note : Here we are converting the units between different standards. The source unit Gigabit is Decimal where as the target unit Mebibyte is Binary. In such scenario, first we need to convert the source unit to the basic unit - Bit - multiply with 1000^3, and then convert to target unit by dividing with 8x1024^2 .

Now let us apply the above formula and, write down the steps to convert from Gigabit (Gbit) to Mebibyte (MiB). This way, we can try to simplify and reduce to an easy to apply formula.

FORMULA

Mebibyte = Gigabit x 10003 / (8x10242)

STEP 1

Mebibyte = Gigabit x (1000x1000x1000) / (8x1024x1024)

STEP 2

Mebibyte = Gigabit x 1000000000 / 8388608

STEP 3

Mebibyte = Gigabit x 119.20928955078125

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

  1. = 10 x 10003 / (8x10242)
  2. = 10 x (1000x1000x1000) / (8x1024x1024)
  3. = 10 x 1000000000 / 8388608
  4. = 10 x 119.20928955078125
  5. = 1192.0928955078125
  6. i.e. 10 Gbit is equal to 1,192.0928955078125 MiB.

(Result rounded off to 40 decimal positions.)

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

Conversion Units

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.

Definition : Mebibyte

A Mebibyte (MiB) is a unit of digital information that is equal to 1,048,576 bytes (or 8,388,608 bits) and is defined by the International Electro technical Commission(IEC). The prefix "mebi" is derived from the binary number system and it is used to distinguish it from the decimal-based "megabyte" (MB). It is widely used in the field of computing as it more accurately represents the amount of data storage and data transfer in computer systems.

Python Code for Gbit to MiB Conversion

You can use below code to convert any value in Gigabit to Mebibyte in Python.

gigabit = int(input("Enter Gigabit: "))
mebibyte = gigabit * (1000*1000*1000) / (8*1024*1024)
print("{} Gigabit = {} Mebibyte".format(gigabit,mebibyte))

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