Convert gigabytes to bytes
bytes = gigabytes × 1,000,000,000
One gigabyte is 1,000,000,000 bytes, so multiply by 1,000,000,000 to convert. That factor is exact by definition. A byte is 8 bits. Network speeds are quoted in bits per second and file sizes in bytes, so a 100 Mbps line moves at most 12.5 MB per second.
