Gibibits per hour to Kilobits per day conversion

How to convert gibibits per hour to kilobits per day?

To convert 1 Gibibit per hour (Gibibit/h) to Kilobits per day (Kb/day), we need to make use of the appropriate conversion factors. We'll look at both base 2 (binary) and base 10 (decimal) computations. Gibibits are in base 2 and Kilobits can be interpreted in both base 2 and base 10, depending on the context.

Base 2 Conversion

Step 1: Understand the units

• 1 Gibibit (Gibibit) = 2^30 bits
• 1 Kilobit (Kibit) = 2^10 bits

Step 2: Convert Gibibits to bits 1 Gibibit = $2^{30}$ bits

Step 3: Convert hours to days 1 hour = 1/24 day

Step 4: Calculate the bits transferred in one day Since there are 24 hours in a day: $\text{Bits per day} = 1 \text{ Gibibit/hour} \times 24 \text{ hours/day} \times 2^{30} \text{ bits/Gibibit}$

$\text{Bits per day} = 24 \times 2^{30} \text{ bits/day}$

Step 5: Convert bits to Kibibits $1 \text{ Kibibit} = 2^{10} \text{ bits}$ $\text{Kibibits per day} = \frac{24 \times 2^{30} \text{ bits/day}}{2^{10} \text{ bits/Kibibit}}$ $\text{Kibibits per day} = 24 \times 2^{20} \text{ Kibibits/day}$

Step 6: Convert Kibibits to Kilobits (assuming 1 Kibibit ≈ 1 Kilobit for simplicity) $\text{Kilobits per day} ≈ 24 \times 2^{20} \text{ Kilobits/day}$ $= 24 \times 1,048,576 \text{ Kilobits/day}$ $≈ 25,165,824 \text{ Kilobits/day}$

Base 10 Conversion

Step 1: Understand the units

• 1 Gibibit (Gibibit) = 1,073,741,824 bits (2^30 bits in base 2, but using base 10 approximation for bits here for consistency)
• 1 Kilobit (Kb) = 1,000 bits (base 10)

Step 2: Convert Gibibits to bits 1 Gibibit = 1,073,741,824 bits

Step 3: Convert hours to days 1 hour = 1/24 day

Step 4: Calculate the bits transferred in one day Since there are 24 hours in a day: $\text{Bits per day} = 1 \text{ Gibibit/hour} \times 24 \text{ hours/day} \times 1,073,741,824 \text{ bits/Gibibit}$

$\text{Bits per day} = 24 \times 1,073,741,824 \text{ bits/day}$

Step 5: Convert bits to Kilobits $1 \text{ Kilobit} = 1,000 \text{ bits}$ $\text{Kilobits per day} = \frac{24 \times 1,073,741,824 \text{ bits/day}}{1,000 \text{ bits/Kilobit}}$ $\text{Kilobits per day} = 24 \times 1,073,741.824 \text{ Kilobits/day}$ $≈ 25,769,803.776 \text{ Kilobits/day}$
