Now let us apply the above formula and, write down the steps to convert from Kilobyte (kB) to Bit (b). This way, we can try to simplify and reduce to an easy to apply formula.
Bit = Kilobyte x (8x1000)
Bit = Kilobyte x 8000
If we apply the above Formula and steps, conversion from 500 kB to Bits, will be processed as below.
- = 500 x (8x1000)
- = 500 x 8000
- = 4000000
- i.e. 500 kB is equal to 4,000,000 Bits.
(Result rounded off to 40 decimal positions.)
