How to convert bits per second to gigabits per second
Gbit/s = bit/s × 1×10⁻⁹Multiply the value in bits per second by 1×10⁻⁹. To go the other way, multiply by 1,000,000,000 (or divide by 1×10⁻⁹).
A bit per second is smaller than a gigabit per second: it takes 1,000,000,000 bits per second to make one gigabit per second.
Worked examples
- 1 bit per second1 bit/s × 1×10⁻⁹ = 1×10⁻⁹ Gbit/s
- 5 bits per second5 bit/s × 1×10⁻⁹ = 5×10⁻⁹ Gbit/s
- 10 bits per second10 bit/s × 1×10⁻⁹ = 1×10⁻⁸ Gbit/s
- 20 bits per second20 bit/s × 1×10⁻⁹ = 2×10⁻⁸ Gbit/s
- 100 bits per second100 bit/s × 1×10⁻⁹ = 1×10⁻⁷ Gbit/s

About the units
Bit per second (bit/s)
The bit per second (bit/s) is a unit of data transfer rate.
Gigabit per second (Gbit/s)
One billion bits per second; fibre broadband and Ethernet ports are rated in Gbps. One gigabit per second equals 1,000,000,000 bits per second (bit/s).
Frequently asked questions
How many gigabits per second are in one bit per second?
There are 1×10⁻⁹ gigabits per second in one bit per second, and this value is exact by definition.
How do I convert bits per second to gigabits per second?
Multiply the number of bits per second by 1×10⁻⁹. For example, 10 bit/s × 1×10⁻⁹ = 1×10⁻⁸ Gbit/s.
How many bits per second are in one gigabit per second?
One gigabit per second equals 1,000,000,000 bits per second. That is the reverse factor, 1 ÷ 1×10⁻⁹.
What is 10 bits per second in gigabits per second?
10 bit/s = 1×10⁻⁸ Gbit/s.
Is this bit/s to Gbit/s converter accurate?
Yes. Both units are defined exactly in terms of SI units, so the conversion factor is exact; results are shown to 12 significant figures by default and you can change precision in the converter. Calculations run in your browser using the same tested engine that generated this page.
