How to convert Kilobyte to Kibibyte?

Below formula is used convert from Kilobyte (kB) to Kibibyte (KiB) in the kB to KiB Calculator.

kB to KiB Conversion Formula :

Kibibyte = Kilobyte x (8x1000) / (8x1024)
or
Kibibyte = Kilobyte x 0.9765625

Kilobyte to Kibibyte Conversion Steps : Kilobyte is first converted to bits by multiplying with 8x1000 and then, converted to Kibibytes by dividing with 8x1024. In short, we can just multiply Kilobyte with 0.9765625 to get the value in Kibibyte.
