# 0.5 kB to bit

**0.5 kilobytes in bits: 0.5 kB = 4,000 bit**

bit = kB × 8,000

0.5 kilobytes is 4,000 bits. To get there, multiply by 8,000.

## Values either side

*Kilobytes near 0.5, converted to bits.*

| Kilobytes | Bits |
| --- | --- |
| 0.5 kB ← | 4,000 |
| 1 kB | 8,000 |
| 1.5 kB | 12,000 |
| 2 kB | 16,000 |
| 2.5 kB | 20,000 |

## How the conversion works

The relationship is bit = kB × 8,000. Both units measure data, so the conversion is a fixed factor that never changes.

> Kilobyte: Decimal: 1,000 bytes.
