About these units
Kilobit (Kb)
- Definition
- A kilobit (Kb) is 1,024 bits, often used to express data rates rather than storage.
- History
- It became common for describing modem and early network speeds.
- Current use
- Kilobits per second describe low-bandwidth connections and audio bitrates.
Byte (B)
- Definition
- A byte (B) is a unit of digital information made up of 8 bits, enough to store a single character.
- History
- The term was coined at IBM in the 1950s; the 8-bit byte became standard with early microprocessors.
- Current use
- Bytes are the fundamental unit for file sizes and memory in computing.
