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

42546 × 1 = 42546

Result: 42546 Bit per Second

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

42546 × 0.125 = 5318

Result: 5318 byte/second

Direct Conversion Factor

42546 ÷ 8 = 5318

Direct conversion: 42546 bit/second = 5318 byte/second

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How many bytes/second are in 42546 bits/second?

    There are 5318 bytes/second in 42546 bits/second.

  • What is 42546 bits/second in bytes/second?

    42546 bits/second is equal to 5318 bytes/second. To perform this conversion yourself using the convention, multiply 42546 by 0.125.

  • How to convert 42546 bits/second to bytes/second?

    To convert 42546 bits/second to bytes/second using the convention, multiply 42546 by 0.125. This gives you 5318 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, 42546 bits/second equals 5318 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.
