To convert a measurement in kilobytes to a measurement in kilobits, multiply 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:
kilobits = kilobytes × 8
The data storage in kilobits is equal to the data storage in kilobytes multiplied by 8.
How Many Kilobits Are in a Kilobyte?
There are 8 kilobits in a kilobyte, which is why we use this value in the formula above.
1 kB = 8 kb
