How many kilobit in 1 giga b? The answer is 8000000. We assume you are converting between kilobit and gigabyte. You can view more details on each measurement unit: kilobit or giga b The main non-SI unit for computer data storage is the byte. 1 byte is equal to 0.008 kilobit, or 1.0E-9 giga b. Note that rounding errors may occur, so always check the results. Use this page to learn how to convert between kilobits and gigabytes. Type in your own numbers in the form to convert the units!
You can do the reverse unit conversion from giga b to kilobit, or enter any two units below:
The kilobit is a multiple of the unit bit for digital information or computer storage.
1 kilobit = 1000 bits.
Using the common byte size of 8 bits, 1 kbit is equal to 125 bytes.
Note this is different from the kibibit, which is 1024 bits.
The SI prefix "giga" represents a factor of 109, or in exponential notation, 1E9.
So 1 gigabyte = 109 bytes.
The definition of a byte is as follows:
A byte is the basic unit of measurement of information storage in computer science. In many computer architectures it is a unit of memory addressing, consisting of 8 bits.
Since computer memory comes in base two rather than 10, a large portion of the software and computer industry use binary estimates of the SI-prefixed quantities, while producers of computer storage devices prefer the SI values. This is why a computer hard drive advertised with a "100 GB" decimal storage capacity actually contains no more than 93 GB of 8-bit (power of 2) addressable storage.
