Convert 588 Megabytes to Megabits
588 Megabyte = 4704 Megabit
Conversion Process
This conversion uses Bit as the base unit. We'll first convert Megabyte to Bit, then convert from Bit to Megabit.
Step 1: Convert from Megabyte to Bit
588 × 8388608 = 4932501504
Result: 4932501504 Bit
Step 2: Convert from Bit to Megabit
4932501504 × 9.53674e-7 = 4704
Result: 4704 Megabit
Direct Conversion Factor
588 × 8 = 4704
Direct conversion: 588 Megabyte = 4704 Megabit
Frequently Asked Questions
How many Megabits are in 588 Megabytes?
There are 4704 Megabits in 588 Megabytes.
What is 588 Megabytes in Megabits?

What is the formula to convert Megabytes to Megabits?
The formula to convert from Megabytes to Megabits using the convention is: Megabits = Megabytes × 8. Using this formula, 588 Megabytes equals 4704 Megabits.
What is the difference between Megabytes and Megabits?
The main difference between Megabytes and Megabits is that 1 Megabytes equals 8 Megabits using the convention. Note that data storage units commonly use two conventions: the decimal (SI) based on powers of 1000 (kB, MB, GB, etc.) and the binary (IEC) based on powers of 1024 (KiB, MiB, GiB, etc.). This calculator uses the convention.
Is Megabytes bigger than Megabits?
Megabyte is larger than Megabit. Specifically, using the convention, 1 Megabytes equals 8 Megabits.
Why is there confusion between KB and KiB, MB and MiB, etc.?
Historically, "kilobyte" (KB) was often used informally to mean 1024 bytes (2^10). However, the SI prefix "kilo" officially means 1000 (10^3). This led to confusion. The IEC introduced binary prefixes like kibibyte (KiB) specifically for 1024 bytes, mebibyte (MiB) for 1024 KiB, etc., to provide clarity. SI prefixes (kB, MB, GB) are now correctly used for powers of 1000, while IEC prefixes (KiB, MiB, GiB) are used for powers of 1024.
What is the difference between bits and bytes?
A bit is the smallest unit of data, representing a binary value of either 0 or 1. A byte is a common unit of digital information that consists of 8 bits. Data storage capacity is typically measured in bytes and their larger multiples.
