Converting from Kilobyte per second (kB/s) to Bit per second (b/s)

What is Kilobyte per second (kB/s)

Kilobyte per second (kB/s) is a unit of data transfer rate that represents the amount of data in kilobytes that can be transferred in one second.

What is Bit per second (b/s)

Bit per second (b/s) is a unit of data transfer rate that indicates the number of bits that can be transferred in one second.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from kilobyte per second (kB/s) to bit per second (b/s), you can use the following formula:

b/s=kB/s×8000

To convert from bit per second (b/s) to kilobyte per second (kB/s), you can use the following formula:

kB/s=8000b/s​

Examples

1. Converting 12 kB/s to b/s:

12 kB/s=12×8000=96000 b/s

2. Converting 17 b/s to kB/s:

17 b/s=800017​=0.002125 kB/s

3. Converting 2 kB/s to b/s:

2 kB/s=2×8000=16000 b/s
