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 zebibyte is a multiple of the unit byte for digital information. It is a member of the set of units with binary prefixes defined by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). Its unit symbol is ZiB. The prefix zebi (symbol Zi) represents multiplication by 10247, therefore: 1 zebibyte = 270 bytes = 1180591620717411303424bytes = 1024 exbibytes.
