Q. One kilobit is equal to how many bits?
Answer: 1024
Notes: The kilobit is a multiple of the unit bit for digital information or computer storage. The prefix kilo (symbol k) is defined in the International System of Units (SI) as a multiplier of 103 (1 thousand), and therefore, 1 kilobit = 103 bits = 1000bits. However, computers are binary or base 2, as in ones and zeros. So instead of counting by tens, they count by 2s. So instead of 1, 10, 100, 1000 it is 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024.
