FORMULA & EXAMPLES
How to convert Kilobits per second to kilobytes per second
kB/s = kbit/s ÷ 8
Divide the kbit/s reading by 8.
Worked examples
1 kbit/s ≈ 0.125 kB/s
1 ÷ 8 ≈ 0.125
1000 kbit/s ≈ 125 kB/s
1000 ÷ 8 ≈ 125
Frequently asked questions
How are bits and bytes distinguished in kbit/s to kB/s?
A lowercase b or the word bit denotes bits; uppercase B denotes bytes. Eight bits make one byte. Storage quantities and per-second transfer rates are separate categories.
