Kilobytes per Second to Gigabits per Second

How to convert kilobytes per second to gigabits per second

FormulaGbit/s = kB/s × 0.000008

Multiply the value in kilobytes per second by 0.000008. To go the other way, multiply by 125,000 (or divide by 0.000008).

A kilobyte per second is smaller than a gigabit per second: it takes 125,000 kilobytes per second to make one gigabit per second.

About the units

Kilobyte per second (kB/s)

The kilobyte per second (kB/s) is a unit of data transfer rate in the International System of Units (SI). One kilobyte per second equals 8,000 bits per second (bit/s).

Gigabit per second (Gbit/s)

One billion bits per second; fibre broadband and Ethernet ports are rated in Gbps. One gigabit per second equals 1,000,000,000 bits per second (bit/s).

Frequently asked questions

How many gigabits per second are in one kilobyte per second?

There are 0.000008 gigabits per second in one kilobyte per second, and this value is exact by definition.

How do I convert kilobytes per second to gigabits per second?

Multiply the number of kilobytes per second by 0.000008. For example, 10 kB/s × 0.000008 = 0.00008 Gbit/s.

How many kilobytes per second are in one gigabit per second?

One gigabit per second equals 125,000 kilobytes per second. That is the reverse factor, 1 ÷ 0.000008.

What is 10 kilobytes per second in gigabits per second?

10 kB/s = 0.00008 Gbit/s.

Is this kB/s to Gbit/s converter accurate?

Yes. Both units are defined exactly in terms of SI units, so the conversion factor is exact; results are shown to 12 significant figures by default and you can change precision in the converter. Calculations run in your browser using the same tested engine that generated this page.
