Mathematical Conversion Derivation via Coherent SI Base Unit

Under the International System of Quantities (ISQ), dimensional conversion between non-SI units is rigorously resolved by bridging through the coherent SI base unit (bit per second (bps)) without arbitrary rounding:

Vtarget=Vsource×(ksource→SIktarget→SI)V_{\text{target}} = V_{\text{source}} \times \left( \frac{k_{\text{source} \to \text{SI}}}{k_{\text{target} \to \text{SI}}} \right)

2. Target SI Bridge (ktarget):1 byte/second = 8 bit per second (bps)
Step-by-step substitution for Gigabit Per Second → Byte Per Second:V(byte/second) = V(gigabit/second) × ( 1.073742 × 10⁹ / 8 ) = V(gigabit/second) × 1.342177 × 10⁸
