All values are rounded to the nearest significant figure for display purposes.

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 byte/second.

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

142 × 8192 = 1163264

Result: 1163264 Bit per Second

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

1163264 × 0.125 = 145408

Result: 145408 byte/second

Direct Conversion Factor

142 × 1024 = 145408

Direct conversion: 142 kilobyte/second = 145408 byte/second

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How many bytes/second are in 142 kilobytes/second?

    There are 145408 bytes/second in 142 kilobytes/second.

  • What is 142 kilobytes/second in bytes/second?

    142 kilobytes/second is equal to 145408 bytes/second. To perform this conversion yourself using the convention, multiply 142 by 1024.

  • How to convert 142 kilobytes/second to bytes/second?

    To convert 142 kilobytes/second to bytes/second using the convention, multiply 142 by 1024. This gives you 145408 bytes/second.

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

    The formula to convert from kilobytes/second to bytes/second using the convention is: bytes/second = kilobytes/second × 1024. Using this formula, 142 kilobytes/second equals 145408 bytes/second.

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

    The main difference between kilobytes/second and bytes/second is that 1 kilobytes/second equals 1024 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 kilobytes/second bigger than bytes/second?

    kilobyte/second is larger than byte/second. Specifically, using the convention, 1 kilobytes/second equals 1024 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.
