Kilobit per second to bit per second Conversion
1 kilobit per second (kb/s) is equal to 1000 bit per second (bit/s).
1 kb/s = 1000 bit/s
or
1 bit/s = 0.001 kb/s
Formula
To convert a data transfer rate from kilobit per second (kb/s) to bit per second (bit/s), multiply the data transfer rate in kilobit per second by 1000
d(bit/s) = d(kb/s) × 1000
Examples:
Convert 50 kilobit per second to bit per second:
d(bit/s) = 50kb/s × 1000 = 50000 bit/s
