Converting from Kilobit (kb) to Gigabyte (GB) | Data storage (1KB=1024B)

What is Kilobit (kb)

A kilobit (kb) is a unit of digital information storage equal to 1,000 bits. However, in the context of data storage, it is more common to adopt the binary system where 1 kilobit is equal to 1024 bits. Kilobits are often used for measuring the speed of internet connections and file sizes, especially in the context of smaller files or data transfer speeds.

What is Gigabyte (GB)

A gigabyte (GB) is a larger unit of digital information storage commonly used to quantify amounts of data. In the binary system, 1 gigabyte equals 1024 megabytes, which equals 1,073,741,824 bytes or 8,589,934,592 bits. Gigabytes are commonly used to measure storage capacity in devices such as hard drives, USB flash drives, and more.
