To convert a measurement in megabits to a measurement in bits, multiply the data storage by the following conversion ratio: 1,048,576 bits/megabit.
Since one megabit is equal to 1,048,576 bits, you can use this simple formula to convert:
bits = megabits × 1,048,576
The data storage in bits is equal to the data storage in megabits multiplied by 1,048,576.
How Many Bits Are in a Megabit?
There are 1,048,576 bits in a megabit, which is why we use this value in the formula above.
1 Mb = 1,048,576 b
Megabits and bits are both units used to measure data storage. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.

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.

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.
