How to Convert Bits to Megabytes
Joe is the creator of Inch Calculator and has over 20 years of experience in engineering and construction. He holds several degrees and certifications.
To convert a measurement in bits to a measurement in megabytes, divide the data storage by the following conversion ratio: 8,388,608 bits/megabyte.
Since one megabyte is equal to 8,388,608 bits, you can use this simple formula to convert:
megabytes = bits ÷ 8,388,608
The data storage in megabytes is equal to the data storage in bits divided by 8,388,608.
Bits and megabytes are both units used to measure data storage. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
What Is a Bit?
A bit, or more formally, a binary digit, is the smallest unit of information stored in digital systems. A bit can hold one of two possible values: one or zero.
Computers represent bits in circuits using a variety of techniques, but the most common way is using changes in voltage to represent the bit's value of one or zero.
Multiples of bits are represented using SI prefixes such as kilo, mega, giga, or tera.
Bits can be abbreviated as b; for example, 1 bit can be written as 1 b.
You can use our binary calculator to convert a number of bits to other number systems such as hex or decimal.

What Is a Megabyte?
In the International System of Quantities, one megabyte is equal to 1,000,000 bytes, or 106 bytes. However, the megabyte is commonly used interchangeably with the mebibyte (MiB), which is equal to 1,048,576 bytes or 220 bytes in the binary system.
So, depending on the context, one megabyte is equal to 1,000,000 or 1,048,576 bytes.
Megabytes can be abbreviated as MB; for example, 1 megabyte can be written as 1 MB.
