Bit per second to kilobit per second Conversion
1 bit per second (bit/s) is equal to 0.001 kilobit per second (kb/s).
1 bit/s = 0.001 kb/s
or
1 kb/s = 1000 bit/s
Formula
To convert a data transfer rate from bit per second (bit/s) to kilobit per second (kb/s), divide the data transfer rate in bit per second by 1000
d(kb/s) = d(bit/s) / 1000
Examples:
Convert 500 bit per second to kilobit per second:
d(kb/s) = 500bit/s / 1000 = 0.5 kb/s
