About Converting GiBs to Bits
GiB and Bit are everyday digital-storage units, used for everything from file sizes and app downloads to storage device capacity and mobile data allowances. Specifically: GiB digital storage unit, and bit digital storage unit.
Formula
bits = gibs × 8589934592
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 gib equals 8589934592 base units, and 1 bit equals 1 base unit, so dividing one by the other gives the direct gib-to-bit factor of 8589934592.
Simple example
1 GiB × 8589934592 = 8,589,934,592 bit
1 gib = 8,589,934,592 bits.
Real-world example
500 GiB × 8589934592 = 4.294967e+12 bit
500 gibs = 4.294967e+12 bits.
