Conversion Process

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

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

171.88 × 8 = 1375

Result: 1375 Bit per Second

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

1375 × 1 = 1375

Result: 1375 bit/second

Direct Conversion Factor

171.88 × 8 = 1375

Direct conversion: 171.88 byte/second = 1375 bit/second

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How many bits/second are in 171.88 bytes/second?

    There are 1375 bits/second in 171.88 bytes/second.

  • What is 171.88 bytes/second in bits/second?

    171.88 bytes/second is equal to 1375 bits/second. To perform this conversion yourself using the convention, multiply 171.88 by 8.

  • How to convert 171.88 bytes/second to bits/second?

    To convert 171.88 bytes/second to bits/second using the convention, multiply 171.88 by 8. This gives you 1375 bits/second.

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

    The formula to convert from bytes/second to bits/second using the convention is: bits/second = bytes/second × 8. Using this formula, 171.88 bytes/second equals 1375 bits/second.

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

    The main difference between bytes/second and bits/second is that 1 bytes/second equals 8 bits/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 bytes/second bigger than bits/second?

    byte/second is larger than bit/second. Specifically, using the convention, 1 bytes/second equals 8 bits/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.
