The formula of converting the Bit to Kilobit is represented as follows :

kbit = Bit / 1000

Now let us apply the above formula and, write down the steps to convert from Bit (b) to Kilobit (kbit). This way, we can try to simplify and reduce to an easy to apply formula.

FORMULA

Kilobit = Bit / 1000

STEP 1

Kilobit = Bit x (1 / 1000)

STEP 2

Kilobit = Bit x 0.001

Example : If we apply the above Formula and steps, conversion from 10 Bit to kbit, will be processed as below.

  1. = 10 / 1000
  2. = 10 x (1 / 1000)
  3. = 10 x 0.001
  4. = 0.01
  5. i.e. 10 Bit is equal to 0.01 kbit.

(Result rounded off to 40 decimal positions.)

You can use above formula and steps to convert Bit to Kilobit using any of the programming language such as Java, Python or Powershell.

Definition : Kilobit

A Kilobit (kb or kbit) is a 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.
