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 = 103bits = 1000 bits. The kilobit has the unit symbol kbit or kb.
The pebibit is a multiple of the bit, a unit of digital information storage, prefixed by the standards-based multiplier pebi (symbol Pi), a binary prefix meaning 250. The unit symbol of the pebibit is Pibit. 1 pebibit = 250 bits = 1 125 899 906 842 624 bits = 1024 tebibits.
