The formula of converting the Kilobit to Kibibit is represented as follows :
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).
- STEP 1 → Kibibit = Kilobit x 1000 / 1024
- 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.
- = 10 x 1000 / 1024
- = 10 x 0.9765625
- = 9.765625
- i.e. 10 kbit is equal to 9.765625 Kibit.
(Result rounded off to 40 decimal positions.)
