Byte Per Second (Bps) - Definition and Overview

Bps unit of measurement used to express the rate at which data is transferred from one location to another in a data network.

When data transfer rates are expressed in Byte Per Second, it means that the amount of data being transferred is measured in terms of Bytes over a period of one Second.

Byte is a unit of digital information that most commonly consists of eight bits. A single byte can be used to represent 256 different values. 1000 bytes = 1 Kilobyte (KB). 1024 bytes = 1 Kibibyte (KiB).

Kilobit Per Second (kbps) - Definition and Overview

kbps unit of measurement used to express the rate at which data is transferred from one location to another in a data network.

When data transfer rates are expressed in Kilobit Per Second, it means that the amount of data being transferred is measured in terms of Kilobits over a period of one Second.

One Kilobit is 10^3 or 1000 Bits. Kilobit is a decimal unit defined as per SI standard. The unit symbol for Kilobit is kbit or kb. Kilobit is not same as Kibibit (Kib) that contains 1024 bits. 1000 Kilobits = 1 Megabit (Mbit).

How to Convert Byte to Kilobit?

1 Byte is equal to 0.008 Kilobit. To convert Byte to Kilobit, use this simple formula:

Kilobit = Byte x 0.008

So, just multiply the number of Byte by 0.008 to get equivalent value in Kilobit.

Example 1:

Convert 5 Byte to Kilobit
5 x 0.008 = 0.04 Kilobit

Example 2:

Convert 7.5 Byte to Kilobit
7.5 x 0.008 = 0.06 Kilobit
