Convert 838.5 bytes/second to bits/second
838.5 byte/second = 6708 bit/second
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
838.5 × 8 = 6708
Result: 6708 Bit per Second
Step 2: Convert from Bit per Second to bit/second
6708 × 1 = 6708
Result: 6708 bit/second
Direct Conversion Factor
838.5 × 8 = 6708
Direct conversion: 838.5 byte/second = 6708 bit/second
Frequently Asked Questions
How many bits/second are in 838.5 bytes/second?
There are 6708 bits/second in 838.5 bytes/second.
What is 838.5 bytes/second in bits/second?
838.5 bytes/second is equal to 6708 bits/second. To perform this conversion yourself using the convention, multiply 838.5 by 8.
How to convert 838.5 bytes/second to bits/second?
To convert 838.5 bytes/second to bits/second using the convention, multiply 838.5 by 8. This gives you 6708 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, 838.5 bytes/second equals 6708 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.
