Kibibyte and Kilobyte are units of digital information used to measure storage capacity and data transfer rate. Kibibyte is a binary standard unit where as Kilobyte is decimal. One Kibibyte is equal to 1024 bytes. One Kilobyte is equal to 1000 bytes. There are 0.9765625 Kibibytes in one Kilobyte.
| Source Data Unit | Target Data Unit |
|---|---|
|
Kibibyte (KiB)
Equal to 1024 bytes
(Binary Unit) |
Kilobyte (kB)
Equal to 1000 bytes
(Decimal Unit) |
The formula of converting the Kibibyte to Kilobyte 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 Kilobyte is Decimal. In such scenario, first we need to convert the source unit to the basic unit - Byte - multiply with 1024, 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 Kilobyte (kB). This way, we can try to simplify and reduce to an easy to apply formula.
Kilobyte = Kibibyte x 1024 / 1000
Kilobyte = Kibibyte x 1.024
If we apply the above Formula and steps, conversion from 2 KiB to kB, will be processed as below.
- = 2 x 1024 / 1000
- = 2 x 1.024
- = 2.048
- i.e. 2 KiB is equal to 2.048 kB.
(Result rounded off to 40 decimal positions.)
