What is the difference between kilo bit and kilo byte?

Answer:

There are 8 bits in a byte. kilo means one thousand.

1 kilobit = 0.125 kilobyte

1 kilobyte = 8 kilobit

Both of them are standards for calculating the size of data. The smallest amount of data is a single bit.

A byte is 8 bits.

Kilo = 1024

So 1 KiloByte(KB) = 8 Kilobits(Kb) = 1024 bytes = 8192 bits

Notice the difference in capitalization between KB and Kb.
