How to Convert Bytes to Megabits

To convert a measurement in bytes to a measurement in megabits, divide the data storage by the following conversion ratio: 131,072 bytes/megabit.

Since one megabit is equal to 131,072 bytes, you can use this simple formula to convert:

megabits = bytes ÷ 131,072

The data storage in megabits is equal to the data storage in bytes divided by 131,072.

For example, here's how to convert 500,000 bytes to megabits using the formula above.
megabits = (500,000 B ÷ 131,072) = 3.814697 Mb

Bytes and megabits are both units used to measure data storage. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.

What Is a Byte?

A byte is a group of eight binary digits or bits. Most computers use one 8-bit byte as the smallest size of addressable memory.

Multiples of bytes are represented using SI prefixes such as kilo, mega, giga, or tera.

Bytes can be abbreviated as B; for example, 1 byte 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 Megabit?

In the International System of Quantities, one megabit is equal to 1,000,000 bits, or 106 bits. However, the megabit is commonly used interchangeably with the mebibit (Mib), which is equal to 1,048,576 bits or 220 bits in the binary system.

So, depending on the context, one megabit is equal to 1,000,000 or 1,048,576 bits.

Megabits can be abbreviated as Mb; for example, 1 megabit can be written as 1 Mb.
