The formula of converting the Bytes Per Second to Kilobits Per Second is represented as follows :
Now let us apply the above formula and, write down the steps to convert from Bytes Per Second (Bps) to Kilobits Per Second (kbps). This way, we can try to simplify and reduce to an easy to apply formula.
Kilobits Per Second = Bytes Per Second x 8 / 1000
Kilobits Per Second = Bytes Per Second x 0.008
Example : If we apply the above Formula and steps, conversion from 10 Bps to kbps, will be processed as below.
- = 10 x 8 / 1000
- = 10 x 0.008
- = 0.08
- i.e. 10 Bps is equal to 0.08 kbps.
(Result rounded off to 40 decimal positions.)
You can use above formula and steps to convert Bytes Per Second to Kilobits Per Second using any of the programming language such as Java, Python or Powershell.
