The following is a list of definitions relating to conversions between Gigabits per second and bits per second.
What is a Gigabit per second [Gbps]?
A Gigabit per second is a unit used to measure data transfer rates and is based on "Decimal multiples of bits". The symbol for Gigabit per second is Gbps or Gb/s or Gbit/s. There are 0.000000001 Gigabits per second in a bit per second.
What is a bit per second [bps]?
A bit per second is a unit used to measure data transfer rates and is based on "Decimal multiples of bits". The symbol for bit per second is bps or b/s or bit/s. There are 1,000,000,000 bits per second in a Gigabit per second.
Let's take a closer look at the conversion formula so that you can do these conversions yourself with a calculator or with an old-fashioned pencil and paper.
The formula to convert from Gigabits per second to bits per second is:
bits per second = Gigabits per second x 1,000,000,000
Next, let's look at an example showing the work and calculations that are involved in converting from Gigabits per second to bits per second [Gbps to bps].
Gigabits per second to bits per second Conversion Example
Task: Convert 5 Gigabits per second to bits per second [show work] Formula: Gbps x 1,000,000,000 = bps Calculations: 5 Gbps x 1,000,000,000 = 5,000,000,000 bps Result: 5 Gbps is equal to 5,000,000,000 bps
For quick reference purposes, below is a conversion table that you can use to convert from Gigabits per second to bits per second [Gbps to bps].
