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 kilobyte/second.

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

173890 × 8 = 1391120

Result: 1391120 Bit per Second

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

1391120 × 0.00012207 = 169.81

Result: 169.81 kilobyte/second

Direct Conversion Factor

173890 ÷ 1024 = 169.81

Direct conversion: 173890 byte/second = 169.81 kilobyte/second

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How many kilobytes/second are in 173890 bytes/second?

    There are 169.81 kilobytes/second in 173890 bytes/second.

  • What is 173890 bytes/second in kilobytes/second?

    173890 bytes/second is equal to 169.81 kilobytes/second. To perform this conversion yourself using the convention, multiply 173890 by 0.000976563.

  • How to convert 173890 bytes/second to kilobytes/second?

    To convert 173890 bytes/second to kilobytes/second using the convention, multiply 173890 by 0.000976563. This gives you 169.81 kilobytes/second.

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

    The formula to convert from bytes/second to kilobytes/second using the convention is: kilobytes/second = bytes/second × 0.000976563. Using this formula, 173890 bytes/second equals 169.81 kilobytes/second.

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

    The main difference between bytes/second and kilobytes/second is that 1 bytes/second equals 0.000976563 kilobytes/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 kilobytes/second?

    kilobyte/second is larger than byte/second. Specifically, using the convention, 1 bytes/second equals 0.000976563 kilobytes/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.
