Difference between Byte and Kilobit (Bytes vs kbit)

Byte (B)

Byte is a unit of digital information that most commonly consists of eight bits.
A single byte can be used to represent 256 different values.
1000bytes = 1 Kilobyte (KB).
1024 bytes = 1 Kibibyte (KiB).

Kilobit (kbit)

One Kilobit is 10³ or 1000 Bits.
Kilobit is a decimal unit defined as per SI standard.
The unit symbol for Kilobit is kbit or kb.
Kilobit is not same as Kibibit (Kib) that contains 1024 bits.
1000 Kilobits = 1 Megabit (Mbit).

How to convert Byte to Kilobit?

Below formula is used convert from Byte (B) to Kilobit (kbit) in the above B to kbit Calculator.

B to kbit Conversion Formula :

Kilobit = Byte x (8) / (1000)
or
Kilobit = Byte x 0.008

Byte to Kilobit Conversion Steps : Byte is first converted to bits by multiplying with 8 and then, converted to Kilobits by dividing with 1000. In short, we can just multiply Byte with 0.008 to get the value in Kilobit.
