Byte (B) Versus Kilobyte (kB) - Comparison

Bytes and Kilobytes are units of digital information used to measure storage capacity and data transfer rate.

Bytes is one of the very "basic" digital unit where as Kilobytes is a "decimal" unit. One Byte is equal to 8 bits. One Kilobyte is equal to 1000 bytes. There are 1,000 Byte in one Kilobyte. Find more details on below table.

Unit Name Byte Kilobyte
Unit Symbol B kB
Standard basic decimal
Defined Value 8 bits 10^3 or 1000^1 Bytes
Value in Bits 8 8,000
Value in Bytes 1 1,000

Now let us apply the above formula and see how to manually convert Byte (B) to Kilobyte (kB). We can further simplify the formula to ease the calculation.

FORMULA

Kilobytes = Bytes ÷ 1000

STEP 1

Kilobytes = Bytes x (1 ÷ 1000)

STEP 2

Kilobytes = Bytes x 0.001

Example : If we apply the above Formula and steps, conversion from 1 Byte (B) to Kilobyte (kB) will be processed as below.

  1. = 1 ÷ 1000
  2. = 1 x (1 ÷ 1000)
  3. = 1 x 0.001
  4. = 0.001
  5. i.e. 1 Byte is equal to 0.001 kB.

Note : Result rounded off to 40 decimal positions.

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

Kilobyte

A Kilobyte (kB) is a decimal unit of digital information that is equal to 1000 bytes (or 8,000 bits) and commonly used to express the size of a file or the amount of memory used by a program. It is also used to express data transfer speeds and in the context of data storage and memory, the binary-based unit of kibibyte (KiB) is used instead.
