Use the below formula to convert from Kilobyte to Bit.

Bits = kB x (8x1000)

Follow below steps to convert from Kilobyte (kB) to Bit (b).

  1. STEP 1 → Bit = Kilobyte x (8x1000)
  2. STEP 2 → Bit = Kilobyte x 8000

Example : Detailed conversion steps from 10 kB to Bits, will look like below.

  1. = 10 x (8x1000)
  2. = 10 x 8000
  3. = 80000
  4. i.e. 10 kB is equal to 80,000 Bits.

(Result rounded off to 40 decimal positions.)

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