How many megabit in 1 mega bytes? The answer is 8. We assume you are converting between megabit and megabyte. You can view more details on each measurement unit: megabit or mega bytes The main non-SI unit for computer data storage is the byte. 1 byte is equal to 8.0E-6 megabit, or 1.0E-6 mega bytes. Note that rounding errors may occur, so always check the results. Use this page to learn how to convert between megabits and megabytes. Type in your own numbers in the form to convert the units!
1 megabit to mega bytes = 0.125 mega bytes
5 megabit to mega bytes = 0.625 mega bytes
10 megabit to mega bytes = 1.25 mega bytes
20 megabit to mega bytes = 2.5 mega bytes
30 megabit to mega bytes = 3.75 mega bytes
40 megabit to mega bytes = 5 mega bytes
50 megabit to mega bytes = 6.25 mega bytes
75 megabit to mega bytes = 9.375 mega bytes
100 megabit to mega bytes = 12.5 mega bytes
You can do the reverse unit conversion from mega bytes to megabit, or enter any two units below:
The megabit is a multiple of the unit bit for digital information.
1 megabit = 1,000,000 bits = 1,000 kilobits.
Note that the official SI definition uses the "mebibit" or Mib unit to represent 220 bits.
The SI prefix "mega" represents a factor of 106, or in exponential notation, 1E6.
So 1 megabyte = 106 bytes.
The definition of a byte is as follows:
A byte is the basic unit of measurement of information storage in computer science. In many computer architectures it is a unit of memory addressing, consisting of 8 bits.
Since computer memory comes in base two rather than 10, a large portion of the software and computer industry use binary estimates of the SI-prefixed quantities, while producers of computer storage devices prefer the SI values. This is why a computer hard drive advertised with a "100 GB" decimal storage capacity actually contains no more than 93 GB of 8-bit (power of 2) addressable storage.
