Conversion Definitions
The following is a list of definitions relating to conversions between Kilobytes per second and bits per second.
What is a Kilobyte per second (KBps)?
A Kilobyte per second is a unit used to measure data transfer rates and is based on "Decimal multiples of bits". The symbol for Kilobyte per second is KBps or KB/s. There are 0.000125 Kilobytes per second in a bit per second.
What is a bit per second (bps)?
A bit per second is a unit used to measure data transfer rates and is based on "Decimal multiples of bits". The symbol for bit per second is bps or b/s or bit/s. There are 8,000 bits per second in a Kilobyte per second.
Conversion Formula
Let's take a closer look at the conversion formula so that you can do these conversions yourself with a calculator or with an old-fashioned pencil and paper.
The formula to convert from Kilobytes per second to bits per second is:
bits per second = Kilobytes per second x 8,000
Conversion Example
Next, let's look at an example showing the work and calculations that are involved in converting from Kilobytes per second to bits per second (KBps to bps).
Kilobytes per second to bits per second Conversion Example
Task: Convert 5 Kilobytes per second to bits per second (show work) Formula: KBps x 8,000 = bps Calculations: 5 KBps x 8,000 = 40,000 bps Result: 5 KBps is equal to 40,000 bps
