All values are rounded to the nearest significant figure for display purposes.

Conversion Process

This conversion uses Bit per Second as the base unit. We'll first convert bit/second to Bit per Second, then convert from Bit per Second to byte/second.

Step 1: Convert from bit/second to Bit per Second

31909 × 1 = 31909

Result: 31909 Bit per Second

Step 2: Convert from Bit per Second to byte/second

31909 × 0.125 = 3989

Result: 3989 byte/second

Direct Conversion Factor

31909 ÷ 8 = 3989

Direct conversion: 31909 bit/second = 3989 byte/second

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How many bytes/second are in 31909 bits/second?

    There are 3989 bytes/second in 31909 bits/second.

  • What is 31909 bits/second in bytes/second?

    31909 bits/second is equal to 3989 bytes/second. To perform this conversion yourself using the convention, multiply 31909 by 0.125.

  • How to convert 31909 bits/second to bytes/second?

    To convert 31909 bits/second to bytes/second using the convention, multiply 31909 by 0.125. This gives you 3989 bytes/second.

  • What is the formula to convert bits/second to bytes/second?

    The formula to convert from bits/second to bytes/second using the convention is: bytes/second = bits/second × 0.125. Using this formula, 31909 bits/second equals 3989 bytes/second.

  • What is the difference between bits/second and bytes/second?

    The main difference between bits/second and bytes/second is that 1 bits/second equals 0.125 bytes/second 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 bits/second bigger than bytes/second?

    byte/second is larger than bit/second. Specifically, using the convention, 1 bits/second equals 0.125 bytes/second.

  • 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.
