Transmission and propagation delay

Question

I have a very simple calculation for the delay over a simple link and i do not understand a part in the solution.

Consider that:

I have a 10Mbps line, 200.000.000 m/s cable speed, 2.000 km distance, and 8.000 bytes file.

The solution is this: enter image description here

I do not understand why an extra '8' is added in 'L' and an extra '10' is added in 'C'. Can someone please explain it to me?

I searched it on Google and i could not find an answer, although i assume that this is something basic (maybe i don't know how to search properly :p)

Thanks in advance.

Its a naming conventions to write bits with small b and bytes with capital B. so, mbps is mega bits/s and KBps is Kilo Bytes/second. – RC Brand Dec 11 '14 at 08:52
