bit = kB × 8,000

1 kilobyte is 8,000 bits. To get there, multiply by 8,000.

Values either side

Kilobytes near 1, 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
3 kB 24,000

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.
