B to kB - Conversion Formula and Steps

Byte and Kilobyte are units of digital information used to measure storage capacity and data transfer rate. Byte is one of the very basic digital unit where as Kilobyte is a decimal unit. One Byte is equal to 8 bits. One Kilobyte is equal to 1000 bytes. There are 1,000 Bytes in one Kilobyte. - view the difference between both units

The formula of converting the Byte to Kilobyte is represented as follows :

kB = Byte / 1000

Now let us apply the above formula and, write down the steps to convert from Byte (B) to Kilobyte (kB). This way, we can try to simplify and reduce to an easy to apply formula.

FORMULA

Kilobyte = Byte / 1000

STEP 1

Kilobyte = Byte x (1 / 1000)

STEP 2

Kilobyte = Byte x 0.001

Example : If we apply the above Formula and steps, conversion from 10 Byte to kB, 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 Byte is equal to 0.01 kB.

(Result rounded off to 40 decimal positions.)

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