Converting from Kilobyte per second (kB/s) to Megabit per second (Mb/s) in Data transfer

What is Kilobyte per second (kB/s)

Kilobyte per second (kB/s) is a unit of data transfer rate that measures the amount of data transferred in kilobytes per second. It is commonly used to denote the speed of downloading or uploading data.

What is Megabit per second (Mb/s)

Megabit per second (Mb/s) is a unit of data transfer rate that measures the amount of data transferred in megabits per second. It is a higher unit compared to kilobyte per second and is often used in network communication speeds.

Conversion Formulas

• To convert from kilobyte per second (kB/s) to megabit per second (Mb/s), you can use the formula:

Mb/s=kB/s×0.008

• To convert from megabit per second (Mb/s) to kilobyte per second (kB/s), you can use the formula:

kB/s=Mb/s×125

Examples

1. Converting 2 kB/s to Mb/s:

2×0.008=0.016 Mb/s

2. Converting 14 Mb/s to kB/s:

14×125=1750 kB/s

3. Converting 9 kB/s to Mb/s:

9×0.008=0.072 Mb/s

By using these conversion formulas, you can easily switch between kilobytes per second and megabits per second in data transfer measurements.
