How to Convert Megabits to Kilobits
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 megabits to a measurement in kilobits, multiply the data storage by the following conversion ratio: 1,024 kilobits/megabit.
Since one megabit is equal to 1,024 kilobits, you can use this simple formula to convert:
kilobits = megabits × 1,024
The data storage in kilobits is equal to the data storage in megabits multiplied by 1,024.
How Many Kilobits Are in a Megabit?
There are 1,024 kilobits in a megabit, which is why we use this value in the formula above.
1 Mb = 1,024 kb
Megabits and kilobits 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 Kilobit?
In the International System of Quantities, one kilobit is equal to 1,000 bits, or 103 bits. However, the kilobit is commonly used interchangeably with the kibibit (Kib), which is equal to 1,024 bits or 210 bits in the binary system.
So, depending on the context, one kilobit is equal to 1,000 or 1,024 bits.
Kilobits can be abbreviated as kb; for example, 1 kilobit can be written as 1 kb.
