Formula

How to convert Gigabits per second to Kilobits per second

To convert gigabits per second to kilobits per second, multiply by 1,000,000. One gigabit per second equals 1,000,000 kbps, and one kilobit per second equals 0.000001 Gbps.

  1. Take the value in gigabits per second — for example 7.5 Gbps.
  2. Multiply by 1,000,000 (the number of kilobits per second in one gigabit per second).
  3. 7.5 × 1,000,000 = 7,500,000 kbps.

Shortcut: the factor is a power of ten, so just move the decimal point 6 places to the right.

About converting Gigabits per second to Kilobits per second

Gigabits per second (Gbps) and Kilobits per second (kbps) are both units of data-transfer rate. The exact factor is 1 Gbps = 1,000,000 kbps, so multiply by 1,000,000 to go from gigabits per second to kilobits per second (or divide to go back).

The conversion runs entirely in your browser. Need the reverse? Use the Kilobits per second to Gigabits per second converter, or the full unit converter for every unit at once.

The units

Gigabits per second (Gbps)

1,000,000,000 bits per second.

Used for: Fibre, Ethernet and USB.

Kilobits per second (kbps)

1,000 bits per second.

Used for: Audio bitrates and slow connections.

Network speeds use decimal prefixes: 1 kbps = 1,000 bits per second and 1 Mbps = 1,000,000 bits per second. Remember 8 bits = 1 byte when comparing with download sizes.

Frequently asked questions

5 answers
How many kilobits per second are in one gigabit per second?
One gigabit per second equals 1,000,000 kilobits per second.
How do I convert gigabits per second to kilobits per second?
Multiply the number of gigabits per second by 1,000,000. For example, 10 gigabits per second = 10,000,000 kilobits per second.
What is 5 gigabits per second in kilobits per second?
5 gigabits per second is 5,000,000 kilobits per second.
Is a gigabit per second bigger than a kilobit per second?
Yes. One gigabit per second equals 1,000,000 kilobits per second, so it is 1,000,000 times larger.
How many kilobits per second is the FCC broadband benchmark?
The FCC broadband benchmark is 100,000 kilobits per second (0.1 gigabits per second).
