(Binary Unit)

Use the below formula to convert from Kilobit to Gibibit.

Gibit = kbit x 1000 / 10243

Note : Here we are converting the units between different standards. The source unit Kilobit is Decimal where as the target unit Gibibit is Binary. In such scenario, first we need to convert the source unit to the basic unit - Bit - multiply with 1000, and then convert to target unit by dividing with 1024^3 .

Follow below steps to convert from Kilobit (kbit) to Gibibit (Gibit).

  1. STEP 1 → Gibibit = Kilobit x 1000 / 10243
  2. STEP 2 → Gibibit = Kilobit x 1000 / (1024x1024x1024)
  3. STEP 3 → Gibibit = Kilobit x 1000 / 1073741824
  4. STEP 4 → Gibibit = Kilobit x 0.000000931322574615478515625

Example : Detailed conversion steps from 10 kbit to Gibit, will look like below.

  1. = 10 x 1000 / 10243
  2. = 10 x 1000 / (1024x1024x1024)
  3. = 10 x 1000 / 1073741824
  4. = 10 x 0.000000931322574615478515625
  5. = 0.00000931322574615478515625
  6. i.e. 10 kbit is equal to 0.00000931322574615478515625 Gibit.

(Result rounded off to 40 decimal positions.)

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