Step 2: Convert from Bit to Byte

1198080 × 0.125 = 149760

Result: 149760 Byte

Direct Conversion Factor

1170 × 128 = 149760

Direct conversion: 1170 Kilobit = 149760 Byte

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How many Bytes are in 1170 Kilobits?

    There are 149760 Bytes in 1170 Kilobits.

  • What is 1170 Kilobits in Bytes?

  • How to convert 1170 Kilobits to Bytes?

    To convert 1170 Kilobits to Bytes using the convention, multiply 1170 by 128. This gives you 149760 Bytes.

  • What is the formula to convert Kilobits to Bytes?

    The formula to convert from Kilobits to Bytes using the convention is: Bytes = Kilobits × 128. Using this formula, 1170 Kilobits equals 149760 Bytes.

  • What is the difference between Kilobits and Bytes?

    The main difference between Kilobits and Bytes is that 1 Kilobits equals 128 Bytes using the convention. Note that data storage units commonly use two conventions: the decimal (SI) based on powers of 1000 (kB, MB, GB, etc.) and the binary (IEC) based on powers of 1024 (KiB, MiB, GiB, etc.). This calculator uses the convention.

  • Is Kilobits bigger than Bytes?

    Kilobit is larger than Byte. Specifically, using the convention, 1 Kilobits equals 128 Bytes.

  • Why is there confusion between KB and KiB, MB and MiB, etc.?

    Historically, "kilobyte" (KB) was often used informally to mean 1024 bytes (2^10). However, the SI prefix "kilo" officially means 1000 (10^3). This led to confusion. The IEC introduced binary prefixes like kibibyte (KiB) specifically for 1024 bytes, mebibyte (MiB) for 1024 KiB, etc., to provide clarity. SI prefixes (kB, MB, GB) are now correctly used for powers of 1000, while IEC prefixes (KiB, MiB, GiB) are used for powers of 1024.

  • What is the difference between bits and bytes?

    A bit is the smallest unit of data, representing a binary value of either 0 or 1. A byte is a common unit of digital information that consists of 8 bits. Data storage capacity is typically measured in bytes and their larger multiples.
