Bits to kilobytes converter
Kilobytes (kB)
1 bit = 0.000125 kilobytes
How to convert bits to kilobytes
kB = b × 0.000125
Multiply the number of bits by 0.000125 to get kilobytes. Going the other way, divide by 0.000125 (or multiply by 8000).
One bit is exactly defined as 0.000125 kilobytes (to 12 significant figures), and one kilobyte is 8000 bits.
Worked examples
- Convert 5 bits: 5 × 0.000125 = 0.000625 0.000625 kilobytes.
- Convert 12.5 bits: 12.5 × 0.000125 = 0.0015625 0.0015625 kilobytes.
- Convert 250 bits: 250 × 0.000125 = 0.03125 0.03125 kilobytes.
