Bits per Second (bps) Versus Kilobits per Second (kbps) - Comparison

Bits per Second and Kilobits per Second are units of digital information used to measure storage capacity and data transfer rate.

Bits per Second is one of the very "basic" digital unit where as Kilobits per Second is a "decimal" unit. One Kilobit is equal to 1000 bits. There are 1,000 Bit in one Kilobit. Find more details on below table.

Bits per Second (bps) Kilobits per Second (kbps)
Bits per Second (bps) is a unit of measurement for data transfer bandwidth. It measures the number of Bits that can be transferred in one Second. Kilobits per Second (kbps) is a unit of measurement for data transfer bandwidth. It measures the number of Kilobits that can be transferred in one Second.

Based on the provided diagram and steps outlined earlier, the formula for converting the Bits per Second (bps) to Kilobits per Second (kbps) can be expressed as follows:

diamond CONVERSION FORMULA kbps = bps ÷ 1000

Now, let's apply the aforementioned formula and explore the manual conversion process from Bits per Second (bps) to Kilobits per Second (kbps). To streamline the calculation further, we can simplify the formula for added convenience.

FORMULA

Kilobits per Second = Bits per Second ÷ 1000

STEP 1

Kilobits per Second = Bits per Second x (1 ÷ 1000)

STEP 2

Kilobits per Second = Bits per Second x 0.001

Example : By applying the previously mentioned formula and steps, the conversion from 1 Bits per Second (bps) to Kilobits per Second (kbps) can be processed as outlined below.

  1. = 1 ÷ 1000
  2. = 1 x (1 ÷ 1000)
  3. = 1 x 0.001
  4. = 0.001
  5. i.e. 1 bps is equal to 0.001 kbps.

Note : Result rounded off to 40 decimal positions.

You can employ the formula and steps mentioned above to convert Bits per Second to Kilobits per Second using any of the programming language such as Java, Python, or Powershell.

Unit Definitions

What is Bit ?

A Bit (short for 'binary digit') is the basic unit of information in computing and digital communications. It is a binary value, meaning it can have one of two values=> 0 or 1. Bits are used to represent data in computers and other electronic devices. They are the building blocks of digital information, and are used to store, transmit, and process data.

What is Kilobit ?

A Kilobit (kb or kbit) is a decimal unit of digital information that is equal to 1000 bits. It is commonly used to express data transfer speeds, such as the speed of an internet connection and to measure the size of a file. In the context of data storage and memory, the binary-based unit of Kibibit (Kibit) is used instead.
