Kibps to kBps - Conversion Formula and Steps
Kibibit and Kilobyte are units of digital information used to measure storage capacity and data transfer rate. Kibibit is a binary standard unit where as Kilobyte is decimal. One Kibibit is equal to 1024 bits. One Kilobyte is equal to 1000 bytes. There are 7.8125 Kibibits in one Kilobyte. - view the difference between both units
| Source Data Unit | Target Data Unit |
|---|---|
|
Kibibit (Kibit)
Equal to 1024 bits
(Binary Unit) |
Kilobyte (kB)
Equal to 1000 bytes
(Decimal Unit) |
The formula of converting the Kibibits Per Second to Kilobytes Per Second is represented as follows :
Note : Here we are converting the units between different standards. The source unit Kibibit is Binary where as the target unit Kilobyte is Decimal. In such scenario, first we need to convert the source unit to the basic unit - Bit - multiply with 1024, and then convert to target unit by dividing with 8x1000 .
Now let us apply the above formula and, write down the steps to convert from Kibibits Per Second (Kibps) to Kilobytes Per Second (kBps). This way, we can try to simplify and reduce to an easy to apply formula.
Kilobytes Per Second = Kibibits Per Second x 1024 / (8x1000)
Kilobytes Per Second = Kibibits Per Second x 1024 / 8000
Kilobytes Per Second = Kibibits Per Second x 0.128
Example : If we apply the above Formula and steps, conversion from 10 Kibps to kBps, will be processed as below.
- = 10 x 1024 / (8x1000)
- = 10 x 1024 / 8000
- = 10 x 0.128
- = 1.28
- i.e. 10 Kibps is equal to 1.28 kBps.
(Result rounded off to 40 decimal positions.)
You can use above formula and steps to convert Kibibits Per Second to Kilobytes Per Second using any of the programming language such as Java, Python or Powershell.
