A megabit is a unit used to measure data storage.
Megabits can be abbreviated as Mb; for example, 1 megabit can be written as 1 Mb.
How Much 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.
How to Convert Megabits
To convert megabits to another unit of data storage, you need to multiply the value by a conversion factor. A conversion factor is a numerical value used to change the units of a measurement without changing the value.[1]
You can find the conversion factors for megabits in the conversion table below.
Then, multiply the data storage measurement by the conversion factor to find the equivalent value in the desired unit of measurement.
megabits × conversion factor = result
You can also use a calculator, such as one of the converters below, for the conversion.
