FORMULA & EXAMPLES
How to convert Bytes per second to kilobits per second
kbit/s = B/s ÷ 125
Divide the B/s reading by 125.
Worked examples
1 B/s ≈ 0.008 kbit/s
1 ÷ 125 ≈ 0.008
1000 B/s ≈ 8 kbit/s
1000 ÷ 125 ≈ 8
Frequently asked questions
How are bits and bytes distinguished in B/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.
