The bit (a portmanteau of binary digit) is a basic unit of information used in computing and digital communications.
The gigabit is a multiple of the unit bit for digital information or computer storage. The prefix giga (symbol G) is defined in the International System of Units (SI) as a multiplier of 109 (1 billion, short scale), and therefore 1 gigabit = 109 bits = 1 000 000 000 bits.
The gigabit has the unit symbol Gbit or Gb.
