KiB to kbit - Conversion Formula and Steps
Kibibyte and Kilobit are units of digital information used to measure storage capacity and data transfer rate. Kibibyte is a binary standard unit where as Kilobit is decimal. One Kibibyte is equal to 1024 bytes. One Kilobit is equal to 1000 bits. There are 0.1220703125 Kibibytes in one Kilobit. - view the difference between both units
| Source Data Unit | Target Data Unit |
|---|---|
|
Kibibyte (KiB)
Equal to 1024 bytes
(Binary Unit) |
Kilobit (kbit)
Equal to 1000 bits
(Decimal Unit) |
The formula of converting the Kibibyte to Kilobit is represented as follows :
Note : Here we are converting the units between different standards. The source unit Kibibyte is Binary where as the target unit Kilobit is Decimal. In such scenario, first we need to convert the source unit to the basic unit - Byte - multiply with 8x1024, and then convert to target unit by dividing with 1000 .
Now let us apply the above formula and, write down the steps to convert from Kibibyte (KiB) to Kilobit (kbit).
- STEP 1 → Kilobit = Kibibyte x (8x1024) / 1000
- STEP 2 → Kilobit = Kibibyte x 8192 / 1000
- STEP 3 → Kilobit = Kibibyte x 8.192
Example : If we apply the above steps, conversion from 10 KiB to kbit, will be processed as below.
- = 10 x (8x1024) / 1000
- = 10 x 8192 / 1000
- = 10 x 8.192
- = 81.92
- i.e. 10 KiB is equal to 81.92 kbit.
(Result rounded off to 40 decimal positions.)
You can use above formula and steps to convert Kibibyte to Kilobit using any of the programming language such as Java, Python or Powershell.
