Convert Kilobytes per second to Kilobits per second
Unit definitions
Kilobytes per second
A kilobyte per second equals $1\, 000$ bytes per second (i.e., $10^{3}\,\text{B/s}$).
Kilobits per second
A kilobit per second equals $1\,000$ bits per second (i.e., $10^{3}\ \text{bps}$).
How to convert Kilobytes per second to Kilobits per second
$$\text{Data Transfer Rate}_{\text{kbps}} = \text{Data Transfer Rate}_{\text{KBps}} \cdot 8$$
Examples
Example 1
Convert $45.0\ \text{KBps}$ to $\text{kbps}$.
$$\text{Data Transfer Rate}_{\text{kbps}} = 45.0 \cdot 8$$
$$\text{Data Transfer Rate}_{\text{kbps}} = 360$$
$$\therefore \ 45.0\ \text{KBps} = 360 \ \text{kbps}$$
Example 2
Convert $80.0\ \text{KBps}$ to $\text{kbps}$.
$$\text{Data Transfer Rate}_{\text{kbps}} = 80.0 \cdot 8$$
$$\text{Data Transfer Rate}_{\text{kbps}} = 640$$
$$\therefore \ 80.0\ \text{KBps} = 640 \ \text{kbps}$$
Example 3
Convert $110.0\ \text{KBps}$ to $\text{kbps}$.
$$\text{Data Transfer Rate}_{\text{kbps}} = 110.0 \cdot 8$$
$$\text{Data Transfer Rate}_{\text{kbps}} = 880$$
$$\therefore \ 110.0\ \text{KBps} = 880 \ \text{kbps}$$
Example 4
Convert $130.0\ \text{KBps}$ to $\text{kbps}$.
$$\text{Data Transfer Rate}_{\text{kbps}} = 130.0 \cdot 8$$
$$\text{Data Transfer Rate}_{\text{kbps}} = 1040$$
$$\therefore \ 130.0\ \text{KBps} = 1040 \ \text{kbps}$$
Example 5
Convert $170.0\ \text{KBps}$ to $\text{kbps}$.
$$\text{Data Transfer Rate}_{\text{kbps}} = 170.0 \cdot 8$$
$$\text{Data Transfer Rate}_{\text{kbps}} = 1360$$
$$\therefore \ 170.0\ \text{KBps} = 1360 \ \text{kbps}$$
