Gigabits per Second to Kilobytes per Second

How to convert gigabits per second to kilobytes per second

FormulakB/s = Gbit/s × 125,000

Multiply the value in gigabits per second by 125,000. To go the other way, multiply by 0.000008 (or divide by 125,000).

A gigabit per second is larger than a kilobyte per second: one gigabit per second contains 125,000 kilobytes 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).

Kilobyte per second (kB/s)

The kilobyte per second (kB/s) is a unit of data transfer rate in the International System of Units (SI). One kilobyte per second equals 8,000 bits per second (bit/s).

Frequently asked questions

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

There are 125,000 kilobytes per second in one gigabit per second, and this value is exact by definition.

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

Multiply the number of gigabits per second by 125,000. For example, 10 Gbit/s × 125,000 = 1,250,000 kB/s.

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

One kilobyte per second equals 0.000008 gigabits per second. That is the reverse factor, 1 ÷ 125,000.

What is 10 gigabits per second in kilobytes per second?

10 Gbit/s = 1,250,000 kB/s.

Is this Gbit/s to kB/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.
