I always get confused about this. Is there a "standard" conversion of Megabits to bytes?
Is it:
1 Megabit == 1,000,000 bits == 125,000 bytes
Or:
1 Megabit == 2^20 bits == 1,048,576 bits == 131,072 bytes
737
1 Megabit = (1/8) × 106 Bytes. 1 Megabit = (1/8) × 1000000 Bytes. 1 Mbit = 125000 B. There are 125000 Bytes in a Megabit.
1 Megabit/sec = 125 Kilobytes/sec.
The prefix Giga stands for one billion , so one billion bytes is equal to one GB. When you divide one billion by one million you get one thousand. There are also 8 bits in one byte, so 8 times one thousand Megabits are in one GB, which is 8000 Megabits.
Megabits is a unit of measure that comes from TELECOM, not CS. So it is:
1 Megabit == 1,000,000 bits == 125,000 bytes
When it's a CS based unit of measure, usually the 1024 rules apply:
1 Megabyte = 1,024 Kilobytes = 1,024 x 1,024 bytes
