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.
The tebibit is a multiple of the bit, a unit of information, prefixed by the standards-based multiplier tebi (symbol Ti), a binary prefix meaning 240. The unit symbol of the tebibit is Tibit. 1 tebibit = 240 bits = 1099511627776 bits = 1024 gibibits.
