Convert 742 Megabytes to Megabits
742 Megabyte = 5936 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
742 × 8388608 = 6224347136
Result: 6224347136 Bit
Step 2: Convert from Bit to Megabit
6224347136 × 9.53674e-7 = 5936
Result: 5936 Megabit
Direct Conversion Factor
742 × 8 = 5936
Direct conversion: 742 Megabyte = 5936 Megabit
Frequently Asked Questions
How many Megabits are in 742 Megabytes?

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.
