How to convert bytes per second to bits per second?

Sure, let's go through the conversion process and some real-world examples.

Base 10 Conversion (Decimal):

In the decimal (or SI) system: 1 byte = 8 bits

So, to convert from Bytes per second (Bps) to bits per second (bps): 1 Bps * 8 = 8 bps

Base 2 Conversion (Binary):

The base 2 system also acknowledges that 1 byte = 8 bits. So the conversion factor remains: 1 Bps * 8 = 8 bps

Given that the conversion factor between bytes and bits stays consistent across both base 10 and base 2, the result in both cases is 8 bps when converting from 1 Bps.

Real-World Examples:

  1. 1 KBps (Kilobytes per second):

    • Base 10: 1 KBps * 1000 Bytes * 8 = 8000 bps
    • Base 2: 1 KiBps * 1024 Bytes * 8 = 8192 bps

  2. 1 MBps (Megabytes per second):

    • Base 10: 1 MBps * 1,000,000 Bytes * 8 = 8,000,000 bps
    • Base 2: 1 MiBps * 1,048,576 Bytes * 8 = 8,388,608 bps

  3. 1 GBps (Gigabytes per second):

    • Base 10: 1 GBps * 1,000,000,000 Bytes * 8 = 8,000,000,000 bps
    • Base 2: 1 GiBps * 1,073,741,824 Bytes * 8 = 8,589,934,592 bps

  4. Real-world Scenario:

    • Internet Speed: A typical home internet speed might be advertised as 100 Mbps (Megabits per second). To convert this to MBps:
      • 100 Mbps / 8 = 12.5 MBps
    • File Download: If you are downloading a file at 2 MBps in real-time, it's equivalent to 2 * 8 = 16 Mbps.

These figures can help you understand the scale of data transfer speeds you might encounter in practical applications such as internet connections, data storage devices, and network hardware.

See below section for step by step unit conversion with formulas and explanations. Please refer to the table below for a list of all the bits per second to other unit conversions.

What is bytes per second?

Bytes per second (B/s) is a unit of measurement that represents the amount of digital data being transferred or transmitted in one second. It's often used to express the rate at which data is being sent over a network, such as the internet, a local area network (LAN), or a serial connection.

In other words, bytes per second measures how quickly data is flowing through a communication channel. A higher value indicates a faster transfer rate, while a lower value indicates a slower one.

To give you an idea of just how small a byte is, here's a rough equivalent:

  • 1 byte = 8 bits (since each bit can have two possible values)
  • 1 kilobyte (KB) = 1024 bytes
  • 1 megabyte (MB) = 1,048,576 bytes
  • 1 gigabyte (GB) = 1,073,741,824 bytes

Bytes per second is often used in contexts like:

  • Internet speeds: Measuring how quickly data can be downloaded or uploaded over a network connection.
  • Data transfer rates: Describing the rate at which data is being transferred between devices, such as from a computer to a printer or storage device.
  • Network bandwidth: Expressing the maximum amount of data that can be transmitted through a network in a given time.

Now you know what bytes per second means!

What is bits per second?

Bits per second (bps) is a unit of measurement that expresses the rate at which digital data is transmitted or processed. It represents the number of binary digits (bits) that are transferred or processed in one second.

To put it simply, if you have a 1-bit connection, you're sending or receiving exactly 1 bit of information every second. If you have a 10-kilobits-per-second (kbps) connection, you're sending or receiving 10,000 bits of information every second. And if you have a 100-megabits-per-second (Mbps) connection, you're sending or receiving 100 million bits of information every second!

In modern computing and communication systems, bps is often used to describe the bandwidth or data transfer rate of various interfaces, such as:

  • Modems
  • Networking connections (e.g., Ethernet, Wi-Fi)
  • File transfers
  • Streaming services

To give you a better idea, here are some common data transfer rates in bits per second:

  • Dial-up modem: 56 kbps (56,000 bps)
  • Fast Ethernet: 100 Mbps (100 million bps)
  • Wireless internet: varies (e.g., Wi-Fi, Bluetooth)
  • High-speed internet: up to 10 Gbps (10 billion bps)

I hope this helps you understand bits per second!
