A capital "K" has NEVER been used for 2^10. That's nonsense. A capital "K" denotes Kelvin and nothing else. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.235.169.25 ( talk) 23:09, August 24, 2007 (UTC)
It previously read:
"Another unit of data transmission is the kilobyte per second (kBps or kbyte/s) and is one-eighth that of a kilobit per second:
8 kilobit/s = 1 kilobyte/s"
This did NOT appear to be true as the equation contradicted the text.
Text now updated and should read:
"Another unit of data transmission is the kilobyte per second (kBps or kbyte/s) and is eight times that of a kilobit per second:
8 kilobit/s = 1 kilobyte/s"
Ok, let's think about this.
8 bits = 1 byte
8 kilobits = 1 kilobyte
8 kilobits/s = 1 kilobyte/s
1 kilobit/s = 1/8 kilobyte/s
so "the kilobyte per second (kBps or kbyte/s) is eight times that of a kilobit per second", right? - Omegatron 14:13, Jun 20, 2005 (UTC)
==Kilobyte per second==
Another unit of data transmission is the kilobyte per second (kBps or kbyte/s). One kilobyte per second is equivalent to eight kilobits per second since one byte is equivalent to eight bits. Or, since
then
So:
"One kilobyte per second is equivalent to eight kilobits per second"
"CD audio: 16 bits/sample/channel * 2 channels * 44,100 samples/second = 1,411,200 bits/s = 1411 kbit/s....but article says 128.....what am I missing here?"
Should this be merged into Bit rate? (Drop a note on my talk page if you reply, I will probably forget to check back here... Thanks) -- Wulf 04:37, September 13, 2005 (UTC)
