kBps to Kibps Formula and Manual Conversion Steps
Kilobyte and Kibibit are units of digital information used to measure storage capacity and data transfer rate. Kilobyte is a decimal standard unit where as Kibibit is binary. One Kilobyte is equal to 1000 bytes. One Kibibit is equal to 1024 bits. There are 0.128 Kilobytes in one Kibibit. - view the difference between both units
| Source Data Unit | Target Data Unit |
|---|---|
|
Kilobyte (kB)
Equal to 1000 bytes
(Decimal Unit) |
Kibibit (Kibit)
Equal to 1024 bits
(Binary Unit) |
The formula of converting the Kilobytes Per Second to Kibibits Per Second is represented as follows :
Note : Here we are converting the units between different standards. The source unit Kilobyte 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 - Byte - multiply with 8x1000, and then convert to target unit by dividing with 1024 .
Now let us apply the above formula and see how to manually convert Kilobytes Per Second (kBps) to Kibibits Per Second (Kibps). We can further simplify the formula to ease the calculation.
Kibibits Per Second = Kilobytes Per Second x (8x1000) / 1024
Kibibits Per Second = Kilobytes Per Second x 8000 / 1024
Kibibits Per Second = Kilobytes Per Second x 7.8125
Example : If we apply the above Formula and steps, conversion from 10 kBps to Kibps, will be processed as below.
- = 10 x (8x1000) / 1024
- = 10 x 8000 / 1024
- = 10 x 7.8125
- = 78.125
- i.e. 10 kBps is equal to 78.125 Kibps.
(Result rounded off to 40 decimal positions.)
You can use above formula and steps to convert Kilobytes Per Second to Kibibits Per Second using any of the programming language such as Java, Python or Powershell.
