Gigabit to Gigabyte FAQ

Quick answers about the exact ratio, the manual formula, and the most common situations where this unit pair is used.

What is the formula to convert gigabit to gigabyte?

Multiply the gigabit value by 0.125. For example, 5 Gbit = 0.625 GB.

How many gigabyte are in 1 gigabit?

1 Gbit equals exactly 0.125 GB.

Why is my download speed different from what my ISP advertises?

ISPs advertise speeds in megabits per second (Mbps), while downloads typically display megabytes per second (MB/s). There are 8 bits in a byte, so divide your advertised speed by 8 to get the expected download speed in MB/s.

Is 1 GB exactly 1000 MB or 1024 MB?

In the decimal (SI) system used by storage manufacturers, 1 GB = 1000 MB. In the binary system used by operating systems, 1 GiB = 1024 MiB. This converter uses the standard decimal definitions.

Is there a quick gigabit to gigabyte chart?

Yes. This page includes common gigabit to gigabyte reference values and an instant calculator, so you can check both one-off conversions and quick lookup numbers without doing manual math.
