Kibibyte (KiB) to Gigabit (Gbit) Conversion Formula and Steps

Source Data Unit Target Data Unit
Kibibyte
Equal to 1024 bytes
(Binary Unit)
Gigabit
Equal to 1000^3 bits
(Decimal Unit)


The formula of converting the Kibibyte (KiB) to Gigabit (Gbit) is represented as follows :

Gbit = KiB x (8x1024) ÷ 10003

Now let us apply the above formula and see how to manually convert Kibibyte (KiB) to Gigabit (Gbit). We can further simplify the formula to ease the calculation.

FORMULA

Gigabits = Kibibytes x (8x1024) ÷ 10003

STEP 1

Gigabits = Kibibytes x (8x1024) ÷ (1000x1000x1000)

STEP 2

Gigabits = Kibibytes x 8192 ÷ 1000000000

STEP 3

Gigabits = Kibibytes x 0.000008192

If we apply the above Formula and steps, conversion from 256 Kibibyte (KiB) to Gigabit (Gbit) will be processed as below.

  1. = 256 x (8x1024) ÷ 10003
  2. = 256 x (8x1024) ÷ (1000x1000x1000)
  3. = 256 x 8192 ÷ 1000000000
  4. = 256 x 0.000008192
  5. = 0.002097152
  6. i.e. 256 KiB is equal to 0.002097152 Gbit.

Note : Result rounded off to 40 decimal positions.

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

Unit Definitions

Kibibyte

A Kibibyte (KiB) is a binary unit of digital information that is equal to 1024 bytes (or 8,192 bits) and is defined by the International Electro technical Commission(IEC). The prefix 'kibi' is derived from the binary number system and it is used to distinguish it from the decimal-based 'kilobyte' (KB). 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.

Gigabit

A Gigabit (Gb or Gbit) is a decimal 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.
