How many bits are in one Gigabit (Gb)?

In digital communication and computing, the term "Gigabit" refers to a unit of digital information or computer storage that is equal to one billion bits. Therefore, one Gigabit (Gb) is defined as 1,000,000,000 bits. This figure is derived from the metric system's use of 'giga-' as a prefix representing billion (10^9 or 1,000,000,000).

While bits are the smallest units of data in computing, each multiple unit (like kilobit, megabit, gigabit) increases by a factor of 1,000. Specifically:

• 1 Kilobit (Kb) = 1,000 bits

• 1 Megabit (Mb) = 1,000 Kb = 1,000,000 bits

• 1 Gigabit (Gb) = 1,000 Mb = 1,000,000,000 bits

This understanding of binary prefixes differentiates ‘gigabit’ from other terms. Options that propose lesser amounts, such as one million or one thousand, do not align with the standard definition of a Gigabit. Additionally, the option that suggests one trillion bits exceeds the definition and capacity of a Gigabit, representing a
