- 1 B = 0.001 kB
- 1 × 0.001 = 0.001 kB
How to convert bytes to kilobytes
1 B = 0.001 kB, so multiply by 0.001 to go from bytes to kilobytes. Going the other way, 1 kB = 1,000 B.
kB = B × 0.001 B = kB × 1,000
Worked example:
1 B = 0.001 kB 5 × 0.001 = 0.005 kB

About the units
- Bytes (B)
- Bytes, a specialised unit. Definition: NIST: Prefixes for binary multiples (IEC 80000-13).
- Kilobytes (kB)
- Kilobytes, a metric unit. Decimal (SI) kilobyte = 1000^1 bytes. Many operating systems label the binary kibibyte (KiB) as 'kB'. Definition: NIST: Prefixes for binary multiples (IEC 80000-13).
