Mebibits per day to Gigabits per second conversion

How to convert mebibits per day to gigabits per second?

Sure! Let's break down the conversion of 1 Mebibit per day (Mib/day) to Gigabits per second (Gbps) in both base 10 and base 2 notations.

Base 2 (Binary-based)

1. Mebibit to Bits:

   • 1 Mebibit (Mib) = $2^{20}$ bits = 1,048,576 bits.

2. Mebibits per Day to Bits per Day:

   • $1 \text{ Mib/day}$ = $1,048,576$ bits/day.

3. Convert Days to Seconds:

   • There are 24 hours in a day.
   • There are 60 minutes in an hour.
   • There are 60 seconds in a minute.
   • Therefore, there are $24 \times 60 \times 60$ = 86,400 seconds in a day.

4. Bits per Day to Bits per Second:

   • $1,048,576$ bits/day ÷ 86,400 seconds/day ≈ 12.13 bits/second.

5. Bits per Second to Gigabits per Second:

   • 1 Gigabit (Gb) = $10^9$ bits (base 10) or $2^{30}$ bits (base 2).
   • Therefore, $12.13$ bits/second ÷ $10^9$ ≈ $1.213 \times 10^{-8}$ Gbps (base 10).
   • Alternatively, $12.13$ bits/second ÷ $2^{30}$ ≈ $1.129 \times 10^{-8}$ Gbps (base 2).

Base 10 (Decimal-based)

1. Mebibit to Megabits:

   • 1 Mebibit (Mib) = 1.048576 Megabits (Mb), as 1 Megabit (Mb) = $10^6$ bits.

2. Megabits per Day to Bits per Day:

   • 1.048576 Mb/day = $1.048576 \times 10^6$ bits/day.

3. Bits per Day to Bits per Second:

   • $1.048576 \times 10^6$ bits/day ÷ 86,400 seconds/day ≈ 12.13 bits/second.

4. Bits per Second to Gigabits per Second:

   • $12.13$ bits/second ÷ $10^9$ ≈ $1.213 \times 10^{-8}$ Gbps (base 10).

Real-World Examples for Other Quantities of Mebibits per Day

1. 10 Mib/day:

   • Bits per Day: $10 \times 1,048,576$ = 10,485,760 bits/day.
   • Bits per Second: $10,485,760$ bits/day ÷ 86,400 seconds/day ≈ 121.3 bits/second.
   • Gigabits per Second (base 2): $121.3$ bits/second ÷ $2^{30}$ ≈ $1.129 \times 10^{-7}$ Gbps.
   • Gigabits per Second (base 10): $121.3$ bits/second ÷ $10^9$ ≈ $1.213 \times 10^{-7}$ Gbps.

2. 100 Mib/day:

   • Bits per Day: $100 \times 1,048,576$ = 104,857,600 bits/day.
   • Bits per Second: $104,857,600$ bits/day ÷ 86,400 seconds/day ≈ 1,213 bits/second.
   • Gigabits per Second (base 2): $1,213$ bits/second ÷ $2^{30}$ ≈ $1.129 \times 10^{-6}$ Gbps.
   • Gigabits per Second (base 10): $1,213$ bits/second ÷ $10^9$ ≈ $1.213 \times 10^{-6}$ Gbps.

3. 1000 Mib/day (1 Gib/day):

   • Bits per Day: $1000 \times 1,048,576$ = 1,048,576,000 bits/day.
   • Bits per Second: $1,048,576,000$ bits/day ÷ 86,400 seconds/day ≈ 12,130 bits/second.
   • Gigabits per Second (base 2): $12,130$ bits/second ÷ $2^{30}$ ≈ $1.129 \times 10^{-5}$ Gbps.
   • Gigabits per Second (base 10): $12,130$ bits/second ÷ $10^9$ ≈ $1.213 \times 10^{-5}$ Gbps.

These conversions allow you to understand how different units relate to each other and offer insight into the types of data transfer rates seen in different real-world scenarios.
