Bit and Kilobit 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 Kilobit is a decimal unit. One Kilobit is equal to 1000 bits. There are 1,000 Bits in one Kilobit. - view the difference between both units
| Source Data Unit | Target Data Unit |
|---|---|
|
Bit (b)
Equal to 0 or 1
(Basic Unit) |
Kilobit (kbit)
Equal to 1000 bits
(Decimal Unit) |
The formula of converting the Bit to Kilobit is represented as follows :
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.
Kilobit = Bit / 1000
Kilobit = Bit x (1 / 1000)
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.
- = 10 / 1000
- = 10 x (1 / 1000)
- = 10 x 0.001
- = 0.01
- 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.
