Megabytes per second to Megabits per second

1 megabyte per second = 8 megabits per second · 1 Mbit/s = 0.125 MB/s

1 megabyte per second = 8 megabits per second

How it’s calculated

Mbit/s = MB/s × 8

  • Multiply the value in megabytes per second by 8.
  • To go back, divide by 8 (or multiply by 0.125).
  • 1 MB/s = 8 Mbit/s · 1 Mbit/s = 0.125 MB/s
Show worked solutionFactor, unit cancellation and rounding, step by step

  1. Find the conversion factor

    By definition 1 MB/s = 8000000 bit/s and 1 Mbit/s = 1000000 bit/s, so 1 MB/s = 8 Mbit/s. Source: IEC 80000-13 (decimal and binary prefixes).

  2. Multiply by the factor written as a fraction

    Put MB/s in the denominator so it cancels, leaving Mbit/s.

  3. Calculate (unrounded)

  4. Round the answer

    Rounded to 5 significant figures.

Answer: 8 Mbit/s
