Converting from Bit (b) to Gigabyte (GB) | Data storage (1KB=1024B)

What is Bit (b)

A bit (b) is the most basic unit of information in computing and digital communications. It can represent one of two values, typically 0 or 1. Bits are critical in data transmission, storage, and processing. They serve as the building blocks for more complex data units. For instance, 8 bits make a byte (B), which is a more commonly used data measurement in tech.

What is Gigabyte (GB)

A gigabyte (GB) is a unit of measurement for digital information that equals 1,073,741,824 bytes (2^30 bytes) or approximately 1 billion bytes. It is commonly used to measure data storage capacity in devices such as hard drives, USB drives, and memory cards. Understanding gigabytes is essential for anyone managing large amounts of digital data, such as videos, software applications, and databases.

Conversion Formulas

To convert bits to gigabytes, you can use the following conversion formulas:

• From bits to gigabytes:

  GB=bits×0.0000000001164153

• From gigabytes to bits:

  bits=GB×8589935000

Examples

Here are some examples to illustrate the conversion between bits and gigabytes:

1. Converting 15 bits to gigabytes:

   15 b=15×0.0000000001164153≈1.74623×10−9 GB

2. Converting 9 bits to gigabytes:

   9 b=9×0.0000000001164153≈1.047738×10−9 GB

3. Converting 10 gigabytes to bits:

   10 GB=10×8589935000=85899350000 b

4. Converting 15 gigabytes to bits:

   15 GB=15×8589935000=128849000000 b

These examples help to visualize and understand how to perform conversions between bits and gigabytes.
