Kibibits per hour to Gibibits per second conversion

How to convert kibibits per hour to gibibits per second?

Certainly! To convert 1 Kibibit per hour (Kibit/h) to Gibibits per second (Gibit/s), we need to go through the following steps:

Base 2 (Binary) Conversion

1 Kibibit (Kibit) = 2^10 bits = 1024 bits

1 Gibibit (Gibit) = 2^30 bits = 1,073,741,824 bits

1 hour = 3600 seconds

Step-by-Step Conversion:

1. Convert Kibibits (Kibit) to bits: $1 \text{ Kibit} = 1024 \text{ bits}$

2. Calculate the number of bits per hour: $1 \text{ Kibit/h} = 1024 \text{ bits/hour}$

3. Convert bits per hour to bits per second: $\frac{1024 \text{ bits/hour}}{3600 \text{ seconds/hour}} \approx 0.2844 \text{ bits/second}$

4. Convert bits per second to Gibibits per second: $\frac{0.2844 \text{ bits/second}}{1,073,741,824 \text{ bits/Gibit}} \approx 2.65 \times 10^{-10} \text{ Gibit/second}$

So, 1 Kibibit per hour is approximately $2.65 \times 10^{-10}$ Gibibits per second in base 2.

Base 10 (Decimal) Conversion

Using the base 10 system: 1 Kibibit (Kibit) = 10^3 bits = 1000 bits

1 Gibibit (Gibit) = 10^9 bits = 1,000,000,000 bits

1 hour = 3600 seconds

Step-by-Step Conversion:

1. Convert Kibibits (Kibit) to bits: $1 \text{ Kibit} = 1000 \text{ bits}$

2. Calculate the number of bits per hour: $1 \text{ Kibit/h} = 1000 \text{ bits/hour}$

3. Convert bits per hour to bits per second: $\frac{1000 \text{ bits/hour}}{3600 \text{ seconds/hour}} \approx 0.2778 \text{ bits/second}$

4. Convert bits per second to Gibibits per second: $\frac{0.2778 \text{ bits/second}}{1,000,000,000 \text{ bits/Gibit}} \approx 2.78 \times 10^{-10} \text{ Gibit/second}$

So, 1 Kibibit per hour is approximately $2.78 \times 10^{-10}$ Gibibits per second in base 10.

1. 50 Kibibits per hour:

   • In base 2: $50 \times 2.65 \times 10^{-10} \approx 1.33 \times 10^{-8}$ Gibit/s
   • In base 10: $50 \times 2.78 \times 10^{-10} \approx 1.39 \times 10^{-8}$ Gibit/s

2. 10,000 Kibibits per hour:

   • In base 2: $10,000 \times 2.65 \times 10^{-10} \approx 2.65 \times 10^{-6}$ Gibit/s
   • In base 10: $10,000 \times 2.78 \times 10^{-10} \approx 2.78 \times 10^{-6}$ Gibit/s

3. 1,000,000 Kibibits per hour:

   • In base 2: $1,000,000 \times 2.65 \times 10^{-10} \approx 2.65 \times 10^{-4}$ Gibit/s
   • In base 10: $1,000,000 \times 2.78 \times 10^{-10} \approx 2.78 \times 10^{-4}$ Gibit/s

These examples illustrate how different magnitudes of Kibibits per hour can be converted into Gibibits per second in both base 2 and base 10.
