Formula: kbit = KiB × 8.192
KiB = kbit × 0.1220703125

Definitions: 1 KiB = 1024 B; 1 kbit = 1000 bit

The kibibyte (KiB) is 1,024 bytes. The binary prefixes kibi, mebi and gibi were introduced by the IEC in the late 1990s to tell powers of 1,024 apart from powers of 1,000.

The kilobit (kbit) is 1,000 bits. It is used mainly for data transfer rates, such as the kilobits per second of audio and video streams and older connections.
