How to Convert Megabits per Second to Kilobits per Second

To convert a measurement in megabits per second to a measurement in kilobits per second, multiply the data transfer by the following conversion ratio: 1,000 kilobits per second/megabit per second.

Since one megabit per second is equal to 1,000 kilobits per second, you can use this simple formula to convert:

kilobits per second = megabits per second × 1,000

The data transfer in kilobits per second is equal to the data transfer in megabits per second multiplied by 1,000.

For example, here's how to convert 5 megabits per second to kilobits per second using the formula above.
kilobits per second = (5 Mbps × 1,000) = 5,000 kbps

How Many Kilobits per Second Are in a Megabit per Second?

There are 1,000 kilobits per second in a megabit per second, which is why we use this value in the formula above.

1 Mbps = 1,000 kbps
