8 k equals 8,000,000 bites.
This is because “k” stands for a thousand, so 8 k means 8 thousand, which when converted to bites, and considering each kilobyte is 1,000 bytes, results in 8,000,000 bytes (or bites). The calculation multiplies 8 by 1,000 to get bytes, then multiplies by 1,000 again for kilobytes to bites.
Conversion Result
The value of 8 k in bites is 8,000,000 bites.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert k to bites multiplies the number of k (thousands) by 1,000 to get bytes, then by another 1,000 to reach bites, because 1 kilobyte equals 1,000 bytes, and bites are the same as bytes. For example, 8 k = 8 * 1,000 * 1,000 = 8,000,000 bites.
Conversion Example
- Convert 5 k to bites:
- Multiply 5 by 1,000 to get bytes: 5 * 1,000 = 5,000 bytes
- Then multiply 5,000 by 1,000 for bites: 5,000 * 1,000 = 5,000,000 bites
- Convert 12 k to bites:
- 12 * 1,000 = 12,000 bytes
- 12,000 * 1,000 = 12,000,000 bites
- Convert 0.5 k to bites:
- 0.5 * 1,000 = 500 bytes
- 500 * 1,000 = 500,000 bites
- Convert 20 k to bites:
- 20 * 1,000 = 20,000 bytes
- 20,000 * 1,000 = 20,000,000 bites

Conversion Definitions
k
“k” is a unit prefix representing a thousand (1,000) in the metric system, often used in digital data to denote thousands of bytes, kilobytes, or kilobits, depending on context. It is a shorthand for 1,000 units, commonly used for measuring data size.
bites
Bites are a term often used interchangeably with bytes, representing a group of 8 bits, which is the basic unit of digital storage. One bite equals 8 bits, with each bit being a binary digit (0 or 1), forming the fundamental building block of digital information.
Conversion FAQs
What is the relation between kilobytes and bites?
One kilobyte equals 1,000 bytes, and since each byte is 8 bites, one kilobyte equals 8,000 bites. This conversion helps understand data size in different units, especially when dealing with storage or data transfer measurements.
Can I convert 8 k directly into bits?
Yes, by multiplying 8 k by 1,000 to get bytes, then multiplying again by 8 to convert bytes into bits, since each byte contains 8 bits. So, 8 k = 8 * 1,000 * 8 = 64,000 bits.
Why does the conversion multiply by 1,000 twice?
Because “k” represents 1,000, and converting kilobytes to bits involves first converting to bytes (multiplying by 1,000) and then converting bytes to bits (multiplying by 8). Combining these gives multiplication by 1,000 * 8.
Is the conversion the same whether I use SI or binary units?
No, the conversion differs based on units: SI units use 1,000 bytes per kilobyte, while binary units (kibi) use 1,024 bytes per kibibyte. This guide follows SI standards, where 1 k = 1,000, and 1 byte = 8 bits.
