For example, CD audio has a sample rate of 44,100 hz but a bit rate of
1,411,200 bps.


If you divide 1,411,200 by 44,100, what number do you
get?

32

What is the significance of this number?

The bit-rate divided by the sample-rate. What else?


32 is also the bit-resolution [16-bit] times the number of channels [2,
because CD-audio is stereo, and has 2 channels]

16 [i.e. the bit-resolution] X 2 [i.e. stereo channel] = 32
