Convert kilobytes/second to gigabits/second
1 kilobyte/second = 0.00000762939 gigabit/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 gigabit/second.
Step 1: Convert from kilobyte/second to Bit per Second
1 × 8192 = 8192
Result: 8192 Bit per Second
Step 2: Convert from Bit per Second to gigabit/second
8192 × 9.31323e-10 = 0.00000762939
Result: 0.00000762939 gigabit/second
Direct Conversion Factor
1 ÷ 131072 = 0.00000762939
Direct conversion: 1 kilobyte/second = 0.00000762939 gigabit/second
Frequently Asked Questions
How many gigabits/second are in 1 kilobytes/second?
There are 0.00000762939 gigabits/second in 1 kilobytes/second.
What is 1 kilobytes/second in gigabits/second?
1 kilobytes/second is equal to 0.00000762939 gigabits/second. To perform this conversion yourself using the convention, multiply 1 by 0.00000762939.
How to convert 1 kilobytes/second to gigabits/second?
To convert 1 kilobytes/second to gigabits/second using the convention, multiply 1 by 0.00000762939. This gives you 0.00000762939 gigabits/second.
What is the formula to convert kilobytes/second to gigabits/second?
The formula to convert from kilobytes/second to gigabits/second using the convention is: gigabits/second = kilobytes/second × 0.00000762939. Using this formula, 1 kilobytes/second equals 0.00000762939 gigabits/second.
What is the difference between kilobytes/second and gigabits/second?
The main difference between kilobytes/second and gigabits/second is that 1 kilobytes/second equals 0.00000762939 gigabits/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 gigabits/second?
gigabit/second is larger than kilobyte/second. Specifically, using the convention, 1 kilobytes/second equals 0.00000762939 gigabits/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.
