How to Convert Kilobits to Bits
Joe is the creator of Inch Calculator and has over 20 years of experience in engineering and construction. He holds several degrees and certifications.
To convert a measurement in kilobits to a measurement in bits, multiply the data storage by the following conversion ratio: 1,024 bits/kilobit.
Since one kilobit is equal to 1,024 bits, you can use this simple formula to convert:
bits = kilobits × 1,024
The data storage in bits is equal to the data storage in kilobits multiplied by 1,024.
How Many Bits Are in a Kilobit?
There are 1,024 bits in a kilobit, which is why we use this value in the formula above.
1 kb = 1,024 b
Kilobits and bits are both units used to measure data storage. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.

What Is a Kilobit?
In the International System of Quantities, one kilobit is equal to 1,000 bits, or 103 bits. However, the kilobit is commonly used interchangeably with the kibibit (Kib), which is equal to 1,024 bits or 210 bits in the binary system.
So, depending on the context, one kilobit is equal to 1,000 or 1,024 bits.
Kilobits can be abbreviated as kb; for example, 1 kilobit can be written as 1 kb.

What Is a Bit?
A bit, or more formally, a binary digit, is the smallest unit of information stored in digital systems. A bit can hold one of two possible values: one or zero.
Computers represent bits in circuits using a variety of techniques, but the most common way is using changes in voltage to represent the bit's value of one or zero.
Multiples of bits are represented using SI prefixes such as kilo, mega, giga, or tera.
Bits can be abbreviated as b; for example, 1 bit can be written as 1 b.
You can use our binary calculator to convert a number of bits to other number systems such as hex or decimal.
