How many bits make a kilobyte?

Answer 1

8192 bits makes one kilobyte, in the traditional (computer based) sense where kilo means 1024. Some people use kilo as 1000, even though that is not traditional computer usage, so, in that case, that would be 8000 bits.

Answer 2

There are 8 bits(1's and 0's, computer speak) to each byte (which is a character on the screen), so kilo meaning thousand, makes 8 bits multiplied by 1000 = 8000 bits in 1 kilobyte. ---- The above is true only in the concept of the meaning of kilo. There are actually 1,024 bytes in a kilobyte. There are 8 bits to a byte (4 bits is called a nibble). So multiply 1024 by 8 to get 8192 bits in a kilobyte.

Answer 3

There are 1024 Bytes in one kilobyte and 8 bits in each of those Bytes, so there are 8192 bits in one Kilobyte.

Answer 4

Here is the math:

1 byte is 8 bits.

1 kibibyte (More accurate term than kilobyte.) is 1024 bytes.

1024 * 8 = 8192 bits.
