The bit
A bit is the smallest unit of digital information — a single 0 or 1. Eight bits make one byte. The bit is the natural unit for bandwidth (most network speeds are quoted in bits per second, not bytes).
Bits to Gigabytes Converter
1 bit = 1.2500 × 10^−10 GB
1 bit equals 1.2500 × 10^−10 gigabytes. To convert bits to gigabytes, multiply the bit value by 1.2500 × 10^−10. For quick reference: 1 bit = 1.2500 × 10^−10 GB, 5 bit = 6.2500 × 10^−10 GB, 10 bit = 1.2500 × 10^−9 GB, 100 bit = 1.2500 × 10^−8 GB.
Formula
Gigabytes = Bits × 1.2500 × 10^−10Quick

About the bit and the gigabyte
The gigabyte
The gigabyte (GB) equals 1,000,000,000 bytes. The difference between GB (decimal) and GiB (binary, 1,073,741,824 B) is the reason a '1 TB' drive shows as ~931 GB in Windows.
