How to Convert Kilobits to Kilobytes
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 kilobytes, divide the data storage by the following conversion ratio: 8 kilobits/kilobyte.
Since one kilobyte is equal to 8 kilobits, you can use this simple formula to convert:
kilobytes = kilobits ÷ 8
The data storage in kilobytes is equal to the data storage in kilobits divided by 8.
How Many Kilobytes Are in a Kilobit?
There are 0.125 kilobytes in a kilobit, which is why we use this value in the formula above.
1 kb = 0.125 kB

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 Kilobyte?
In the International System of Quantities, one kilobyte is equal to 1,000 bytes, or 103 bytes. However, the kilobyte is commonly used interchangeably with the kibibyte (KiB), which is equal to 1,024 bytes or 210 bytes in the binary system.
So, depending on the context, one kilobyte is equal to 1,000 or 1,024 bytes.
Kilobytes can be abbreviated as kB; for example, 1 kilobyte can be written as 1 kB.
