bps to kBps - Conversion Formula and Steps
Bit and Kilobyte are units of digital information used to measure storage capacity and data transfer rate. Bit is one of the very basic digital unit where as Kilobyte is a decimal unit. One Kilobyte is equal to 1000 bytes. There are 8,000 Bits in one Kilobyte. - view the difference between both units

The formula of converting the Bits Per Second to Kilobytes Per Second is represented as follows :
Now let us apply the above formula and, write down the steps to convert from Bits Per Second (bps) to Kilobytes Per Second (kBps). This way, we can try to simplify and reduce to an easy to apply formula.
Kilobytes Per Second = Bits Per Second / (8x1000)
Kilobytes Per Second = Bits Per Second / 8000
Kilobytes Per Second = Bits Per Second x (1 / 8000)
Kilobytes Per Second = Bits Per Second x 0.000125
Example : If we apply the above Formula and steps, conversion from 10 bps to kBps, will be processed as below.
- = 10 / (8x1000)
- = 10 / 8000
- = 10 x (1 / 8000)
- = 10 x 0.000125
- = 0.00125
- i.e. 10 bps is equal to 0.00125 kBps.
(Result rounded off to 40 decimal positions.)
You can use above formula and steps to convert Bits Per Second to Kilobytes Per Second using any of the programming language such as Java, Python or Powershell.
