Worked examples

8 bit/s ≈ 0.008 kbit/s

8 ÷ 1000 ≈ 0.008

1000 bit/s ≈ 1 kbit/s

1000 ÷ 1000 ≈ 1

Frequently asked questions

How are bits and bytes distinguished in bit/s to kbit/s?

A lowercase b or the word bit denotes bits; uppercase B denotes bytes. Eight bits make one byte. Storage quantities and per-second transfer rates are separate categories.
