KiB to kB Calculator Tool allows you to easily convert from Kibibyte (KiB) to Kilobyte (kB). This converter uses the below formula and steps to perform the conversion.

The formula of converting the Kibibyte (KiB) to Kilobyte (kB) is represented as follows :

diamond CONVERSION FORMULA kB = KiB x 1024 ÷ 1000
Source Data Unit Target Data Unit
Kibibyte
Equal to 1024 bytes
(Binary Unit)
Kilobyte
Equal to 1000 bytes
(Decimal Unit)

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

FORMULA

Kilobytes = Kibibytes x 1024 ÷ 1000

STEP 1

Kilobytes = Kibibytes x 1.024

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

  1. = 1 x 1024 ÷ 1000
  2. = 1 x 1.024
  3. = 1.024
  4. i.e. 1 KiB is equal to 1.024 kB.

Note : Result rounded off to 40 decimal positions.

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

Unit Definitions

Kibibyte

A Kibibyte (KiB) is a binary unit of digital information that is equal to 1024 bytes (or 8,192 bits) and is defined by the International Electro technical Commission(IEC). The prefix 'kibi' is derived from the binary number system and it is used to distinguish it from the decimal-based 'kilobyte' (KB). It is widely used in the field of computing as it more accurately represents the amount of data storage and data transfer in computer systems.

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.
