Tebibits per hour to Gigabytes per month conversion

How to convert tebibits per hour to gigabytes per month?

Converting 1 Tebibit per hour to Gigabytes per month can be split into a few steps. Here's a detailed breakdown:

Understanding the Units

1. Tebibit (Tib): 1 Tebibit = $2^{40}$ bits.
2. Hour to Month: Assume an average month has about 30.44 days (since a year typically has 365.25 days, accounting for leap years, divided by 12 months).

Conversion Process

Step-by-Step Conversion to Gigabytes (base 2 i.e., GiB):

1. Convert Tebibits to Bits: $1 \text{ Tebibit} = 2^{40} \text{ bits} = 1,099,511,627,776 \text{ bits}$

2. Convert Bits to Bytes: $1 \text{ Byte} = 8 \text{ Bits}$ $1,099,511,627,776 \text{ bits} \times \frac{1 \text{ Byte}}{8 \text{ bits}} = 137,438,953,472 \text{ Bytes}$

3. Convert Bytes to Gigabytes (base 2): $1 \text{ GiB} = 2^{30} \text{ Bytes}$ $137,438,953,472 \text{ Bytes} \div 2^{30} = 128 \text{ GiB}$

4. Convert per hour to per month: $128 \text{ GiB/hour} \times 24 \text{ hours/day} \times 30.44 \text{ days/month} = 93,516.48 \text{ GiB/month}$

Conversion in Base 10 (i.e., GB):

1. Convert Tebibits to Bits: $1 \text{ Tebibit} = 2^{40} \text{ bits} = 1,099,511,627,776 \text{ bits}$

2. Convert Bits to Bytes: $1 \text{ Byte} = 8 \text{ Bits}$ $1,099,511,627,776 \text{ bits} \times \frac{1 \text{ Byte}}{8 \text{ bits}} = 137,438,953,472 \text{ Bytes}$

3. Convert Bytes to Gigabytes (base 10): $1 \text{ GB} = 10^9 \text{ Bytes}$ $137,438,953,472 \text{ Bytes} \div 10^9 = 137.44 \text{ GB}$

4. Convert per hour to per month: $137.44 \text{ GB/hour} \times 24 \text{ hours/day} \times 30.44 \text{ days/month} = 100,491.14 \text{ GB/month}$

Summary of Conversion

• Base 2 (GiB): 1 Tebibit/hour ≈ 93,516.48 GiB/month
• Base 10 (GB): 1 Tebibit/hour ≈ 100,491.14 GB/month
