SI Decimal vs Binary: Why GB to Gib Is Not a Round Number
Gigabyte (GB) is an SI decimal unit: each prefix step multiplies by 1,000, so 1 GB = 8,000,000,000 bits. Gibibit (Gib) is an IEC binary unit: each prefix step multiplies by 1,024, so 1 Gib = 1,073,741,824 bits. Dividing one by the other gives 7.4505805969, which is why GB to Gib 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gigabyte (GB) | SI decimal | 1,000 | 8,000,000,000 bits |
| Gibibit (Gib) | Binary (IEC) | 1,024 | 1,073,741,824 bits |
To compare like with like, use GB to Gb for SI decimal or GiB to Gib for binary (IEC).
