To convert a measurement in megabytes to a measurement in megabits, multiply the data storage by the following conversion ratio: 8 megabits/megabyte.

Since one megabyte is equal to 8 megabits, you can use this simple formula to convert:

megabits = megabytes × 8

The data storage in megabits is equal to the data storage in megabytes multiplied by 8.

For example, here's how to convert 5 megabytes to megabits using the formula above.
megabits = (5 MB × 8) = 40 Mb

How Many Megabits Are in a Megabyte?

There are 8 megabits in a megabyte, which is why we use this value in the formula above.
