Convert 917 Kilobits to Bytes
917 Kilobit = 117376 Byte
Conversion Process
This conversion uses Bit as the base unit. We'll first convert Kilobit to Bit, then convert from Bit to Byte.
Step 1: Convert from Kilobit to Bit
917 × 1024 = 939008
Result: 939008 Bit
Step 2: Convert from Bit to Byte
939008 × 0.125 = 117376
Result: 117376 Byte
Direct Conversion Factor
917 × 128 = 117376
Direct conversion: 917 Kilobit = 117376 Byte
Frequently Asked Questions
How many Bytes are in 917 Kilobits?

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.
