1 B/s ≈ 8 bit/s
1 × 8 ≈ 8
1000 B/s ≈ 8000 bit/s
1000 × 8 ≈ 8000
Frequently asked questions
How are bits and bytes distinguished in B/s to bit/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.
