Bytes per Second to Gigabits per Second

How to convert bytes per second to gigabits per second

FormulaGbit/s = B/s × 8×10⁻⁹

Multiply the value in bytes per second by 8×10⁻⁹. To go the other way, multiply by 125,000,000 (or divide by 8×10⁻⁹).

A byte per second is smaller than a gigabit per second: it takes 125,000,000 bytes per second to make one gigabit per second.

About the units

Byte per second (B/s)

The byte per second (B/s) is a unit of data transfer rate. One byte per second equals 8 bits per second (bit/s).

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 byte per second?

There are 8×10⁻⁹ gigabits per second in one byte per second, and this value is exact by definition.

How do I convert bytes per second to gigabits per second?

Multiply the number of bytes per second by 8×10⁻⁹. For example, 10 B/s × 8×10⁻⁹ = 8×10⁻⁸ Gbit/s.

How many bytes per second are in one gigabit per second?

One gigabit per second equals 125,000,000 bytes per second. That is the reverse factor, 1 ÷ 8×10⁻⁹.

What is 10 bytes per second in gigabits per second?

10 B/s = 8×10⁻⁸ Gbit/s.

Is this B/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.
