First it is necessary to understand what a bit and a byte are.

A bit is in computer storage the condition of a piece of data that can exist in one of two conditions, such as if/then, on/off, or yes/no.

A byte is eight bits.

So, a gigabit is 1,000,000,000 bits. (1 billion)

A byte being eight bits then makes a gigabyte 1,000,000,000 bytes, or 8,000,000,000 bits.
