For example: 10 b = 0.00125 KB
About bits and kilobytes
The Conversion Formula
To convert bits to kilobytes, multiply the value by the conversion factor: 1 b = 0.000125 KB. For a worked example, suppose you need to convert 25 b to kilobytes: 25 × 0.000125 = 0.003125 KB. To convert in the opposite direction, divide by 0.000125, or equivalently multiply by 8000.
About bits
The bit (binary digit) is the smallest unit of data in computing. It represents a single 'on' or 'off' state. Coined by John Tukey in 1946, it is the atom of the digital universe. 8 bits make 1 Byte. bits are commonly used in Network speeds (bits), Processor architecture (64-bit), Encryption keys, and Color depth.
A simple 'Yes/No' answer requires 1 bit.
About kilobytes
The Kilobyte (KB) was the first multiple of the byte. In the early days of computing, 64 KB of RAM was considered a luxury (Commodore 64). Today, KB is used mainly for very small text files and icons. kilobytes are commonly used in Text documents, Small icons, Emails (text only), and Configuration files.
A standard page of plain text is about 2 KB.
When Would You Convert bits to kilobytes?
Converting between bits and kilobytes is one of the most common digital storage conversions. You might need this conversion when working with international specifications, following instructions written for a different measurement system, or comparing values across different standards. Having the conversion factor (1 b = 0.000125 KB) memorized or bookmarked can save time in professional and everyday contexts alike.
