In this article I will show you how to convert 500 bytes into kilobytes. Throughout the explanation below I might also call it 500 B to kbytes. They are the same thing!
How to Convert Bytes to Kilobytes
A byte is smaller than a kilobyte. I know that a B is smaller than a kbytes because of something called conversion factors.
Put very simply, a conversion factor is a number that can be used to change one set of units to another, by multiplying or dividing it. So when we need to convert 500 bytes into kilobytes, we use a conversion factor to get the answer.
The conversion factor for B to kbytes is:
Now that we know what the conversion factor is, we can easily calculate the conversion of 500 B to kbytes by multiplying 0.001 by the number of bytes we have, which is 500.
So, the answer to the question "what is 500 bytes in kilobytes?" is 0.5 kbytes.
