Frequently Asked Questions

  • How many Kilobits are in 23.38 Kilobytes?

    There are 187.04 Kilobits in 23.38 Kilobytes.

  • What is 23.38 Kilobytes in Kilobits?

    23.38 Kilobytes is equal to 187.04 Kilobits. To perform this conversion yourself using the convention, multiply 23.38 by 8.

  • How to convert 23.38 Kilobytes to Kilobits?

    To convert 23.38 Kilobytes to Kilobits using the convention, multiply 23.38 by 8. This gives you 187.04 Kilobits.

  • What is the formula to convert Kilobytes to Kilobits?

    The formula to convert from Kilobytes to Kilobits using the convention is: Kilobits = Kilobytes × 8. Using this formula, 23.38 Kilobytes equals 187.04 Kilobits.

  • What is the difference between Kilobytes and Kilobits?

    The main difference between Kilobytes and Kilobits is that 1 Kilobytes equals 8 Kilobits 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 Kilobytes bigger than Kilobits?

    Kilobyte is larger than Kilobit. Specifically, using the convention, 1 Kilobytes equals 8 Kilobits.

  • 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.
