FORMULA & EXAMPLES
How to convert Kilobytes per second to bits per second
bit/s = kB/s × 8000
Multiply the kB/s reading by 8000.
Worked examples
1 kB/s ≈ 8000 bit/s
1 × 8000 ≈ 8000
1000 kB/s ≈ 8000000 bit/s
1000 × 8000 ≈ 8000000
Frequently asked questions
How are bits and bytes distinguished in kB/s to bit/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.
