SI Decimal vs Binary: Why GiB to Gb Is Not a Round Number
Gigabit (Gb) is an SI decimal unit: each prefix step multiplies by 1,000, so 1 Gb = 1,000,000,000 bits. Gibibyte (GiB) is an IEC binary unit: each prefix step multiplies by 1,024, so 1 GiB = 8,589,934,592 bits. Dividing one by the other gives 8.589934592, which is why GiB to Gb is not a round number. Because one unit counts bits and the other bytes, the factor also includes a factor of 8.
| Unit | Standard | Prefix step | 1 unit equals |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gibibyte (GiB) | Binary (IEC) | 1,024 | 8,589,934,592 bits |
| Gigabit (Gb) | SI decimal | 1,000 | 1,000,000,000 bits |
To compare like with like, use GB to Gb for SI decimal or GiB to Gib for binary (IEC).

1 Gibibyte (GiB) equals 8.589934592 Gigabits using the SI decimal standard.
-
How many gibibytes are in 1 gigabit?
1 Gb = 0.116415321827 GiB
1 Gigabit (Gb) equals 0.116415321827 Gibibytes.
-
How do I convert gibibytes to gigabits?
GiB × 8.589934592 = Gb
Multiply the gibibyte value by 8.589934592 to get gigabits. For example, 10 GiB = 85.89934592 Gb. To convert back (vice versa), multiply gigabits by 0.116415321827.
-
Is a gibibyte bigger than a gigabit?
GiB is 8.589934592× larger than Gb
Yes. 1 GiB = 8.589934592 Gb, so the gibibyte is the larger data storage unit.
-
Why is GiB to Gb not a round number?
1 Gb = 1,000,000,000 bits · 1 GiB = 8,589,934,592 bits
Gigabit (Gb) is an SI decimal (base 10) unit and Gibibyte (GiB) is a binary IEC (base 2) unit, so their prefixes step by 1,000 and 1,024. That is why 1 GiB = 8.589934592 Gb instead of a round number. Because one unit counts bits and the other bytes, the factor also includes a factor of 8.
-
What is Gibibyte (GiB) commonly used for?
Common uses of the gibibyte (GiB) include: Windows/macOS file sizes, SSD actual capacity, RAM modules.
