Kilobyte (kB) to Kibibit (Kibit) Conversion Formula and Steps

Source Data Unit Target Data Unit
Kilobyte
Equal to 1000 bytes
(Decimal Unit)
Kibibit
Equal to 1024 bits
(Binary Unit)


The formula of converting the Kilobyte (kB) to Kibibit (Kibit) is represented as follows :

Kibit = kB x (8x1000) ÷ 1024

Now let us apply the above formula and see how to manually convert Kilobyte (kB) to Kibibit (Kibit). We can further simplify the formula to ease the calculation.

FORMULA

Kibibits = Kilobytes x (8x1000) ÷ 1024

STEP 1

Kibibits = Kilobytes x 8000 ÷ 1024

STEP 2

Kibibits = Kilobytes x 7.8125
