Gbps to bps Converter

Convert gigabits per second (Gbit/s) to bits per second (bit/s). 1 gigabit per second = 1,000,000,000 bits per second (exact)

1 gigabit per second = 1,000,000,000 bits per second

How to convert gigabits per second to bits per second

Formulabit/s = Gbit/s × 1,000,000,000

Multiply the value in gigabits per second by 1,000,000,000. To go the other way, multiply by 1×10⁻⁹ (or divide by 1,000,000,000).

A gigabit per second is larger than a bit per second: one gigabit per second contains 1,000,000,000 bits per second.

About the units

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).

Bit per second (bit/s)

The bit per second (bit/s) is a unit of data transfer rate.

Frequently asked questions

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

There are 1,000,000,000 bits per second in one gigabit per second, and this value is exact by definition.

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

Multiply the number of gigabits per second by 1,000,000,000. For example, 10 Gbit/s × 1,000,000,000 = 10,000,000,000 bit/s.

How many gigabits per second are in one bit per second?

One bit per second equals 1×10⁻⁹ gigabits per second. That is the reverse factor, 1 ÷ 1,000,000,000.

What is 10 gigabits per second in bits per second?

10 Gbit/s = 10,000,000,000 bit/s.

Is this Gbit/s to bit/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.
