Terabits per day to Gibibits per minute conversion

How to convert terabits per day to gibibits per minute?

Sure, I'll walk you through the process of converting 1 Terabit per day to Gibibits per minute, considering both base 10 and base 2.

Base 10 Conversion

1. Terabits to Bits:

   • 1 Terabit (Tb) = 10^12 bits

2. Bits per Day to Bits per Minute:

   • There are 24 hours in a day, 60 minutes in an hour, so: $24 \times 60 = 1440$ minutes in a day.
   • Therefore, 1 Terabit per day = $\frac{10^{12}}{1440}$ bits per minute.

3. Bits to Gigabits:

   • 1 Gigabit (Gb) = 10^9 bits (in base 10).
   • Therefore, bits per minute to Gigabits per minute: $\frac{10^{12}}{1440 \times 10^9} = \frac{10^3}{1.44} \approx 694.44$ Gigabits per minute.

Base 2 Conversion

1. Terabits to Bits:

   • 1 Terabit (Tb) = 2^40 bits (in base 2).

2. Bits per Day to Bits per Minute:

   • As above, there are 1440 minutes in a day.
   • Therefore, 1 Terabit per day = $\frac{2^{40}}{1440}$ bits per minute.

3. Bits to Gibibits:

   • 1 Gibibit (Gib) = 2^30 bits (in base 2).
   • Therefore, bits per minute to Gibibits per minute: $\frac{2^{40}}{1440 \times 2^{30}} = \frac{2^{10}}{1440} = \frac{1024}{1440} \approx 0.711$ Gibibits per minute.

Real-world Examples for Different Quantities

1. 5 Terabits per Day (Base 10):

   • $\approx 5 \times 694.44 = 3472.2$ Gigabits per minute.

2. 5 Terabits per Day (Base 2):

   • $5 \times 0.711 = 3.555$ Gibibits per minute.

3. 10 Terabits per Day (Base 10):

   • $\approx 10 \times 694.44 = 6944.4$ Gigabits per minute.

4. 10 Terabits per Day (Base 2):

   • $10 \times 0.711 = 7.11$ Gibibits per minute.
