Convert 128 kilobytes/second to bits/second
128 kilobyte/second = 1048576 bit/second
Conversion Process
This conversion uses Bit per Second as the base unit. We'll first convert kilobyte/second to Bit per Second, then convert from Bit per Second to bit/second.
Step 1: Convert from kilobyte/second to Bit per Second
128 × 8192 = 1048576
Result: 1048576 Bit per Second
Step 2: Convert from Bit per Second to bit/second
1048576 × 1 = 1048576
Result: 1048576 bit/second
Direct Conversion Factor
128 × 8192 = 1048576
Direct conversion: 128 kilobyte/second = 1048576 bit/second
Frequently Asked Questions
How many bits/second are in 128 kilobytes/second?
There are 1048576 bits/second in 128 kilobytes/second.
What is 128 kilobytes/second in bits/second?
128 kilobytes/second is equal to 1048576 bits/second. To perform this conversion yourself using the convention, multiply 128 by 8192.
How to convert 128 kilobytes/second to bits/second?
To convert 128 kilobytes/second to bits/second using the convention, multiply 128 by 8192. This gives you 1048576 bits/second.
What is the formula to convert kilobytes/second to bits/second?
The formula to convert from kilobytes/second to bits/second using the convention is: bits/second = kilobytes/second × 8192. Using this formula, 128 kilobytes/second equals 1048576 bits/second.
What is the difference between kilobytes/second and bits/second?
The main difference between kilobytes/second and bits/second is that 1 kilobytes/second equals 8192 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 kilobytes/second bigger than bits/second?
kilobyte/second is larger than bit/second. Specifically, using the convention, 1 kilobytes/second equals 8192 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.
