  1. 1 kbit = 0.125 kB
  2. 1 × 0.125 = 0.125 kB

How to convert kilobits to kilobytes

1 kbit = 0.125 kB, so multiply by 0.125 to go from kilobits to kilobytes. Going the other way, 1 kB = 8 kbit.

kB = kbit × 0.125
kbit = kB × 8

Worked example:

1 kbit = 0.125 kB
5 × 0.125 = 0.625 kB

About the units

Kilobits (kbit)
Kilobits, a metric 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).
