Equal to 1024 bits
(Binary Unit)

The formula of converting the Kilobit to Kibibit is represented as follows :

Kibit = kbit x 1000 / 1024

Note : Here we are converting the units between different standards. The source unit Kilobit is Decimal where as the target unit Kibibit is Binary. In such scenario, first we need to convert the source unit to the basic unit - Bit - multiply with 1000, and then convert to target unit by dividing with 1024 .

Now let us apply the above formula and, write down the steps to convert from Kilobit (kbit) to Kibibit (Kibit).

  1. STEP 1 → Kibibit = Kilobit x 1000 / 1024
  2. STEP 2 → Kibibit = Kilobit x 0.9765625

Example : If we apply the above steps, conversion from 10 kbit to Kibit, will be processed as below.

  1. = 10 x 1000 / 1024
  2. = 10 x 0.9765625
  3. = 9.765625
  4. i.e. 10 kbit is equal to 9.765625 Kibit.

(Result rounded off to 40 decimal positions.)

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