Converting from Kilobit per second (kb/s) to Bit per second (b/s) | Data transfer

What is Kilobit per second (kb/s)

Kilobit per second (kb/s) is a unit of data transfer rate that represents the number of kilobits (1000 bits) transmitted per second.

What is Bit per second (b/s)

Bit per second (b/s) is the fundamental unit of data transfer rate, indicating the number of bits transmitted in one second.

Conversion Formulas

The conversions between kilobits per second and bits per second are as follows:

• 1 (kb/s) = 1000 (b/s)
• 1 (b/s) = 0.001 (kb/s)

For other conversions, you can use the following examples:

• 6 (kb/s) = 6000 (b/s)
• 6 (b/s) = 0.006 (kb/s)
• 13 (kb/s) = 13000 (b/s)
• 13 (b/s) = 0.013 (kb/s)
• 4 (kb/s) = 4000 (b/s)
• 4 (b/s) = 0.004 (kb/s)

Examples

For instance, if you have a connection speed of 4 kb/s, you can convert this to b/s by multiplying 4 by 1000 to get 4000 b/s. Similarly, to convert 6 b/s to kb/s, divide 6 by 1000 to obtain 0.006 kb/s.
