  • How to convert 8721 Megabytes to Megabits?

    To convert 8721 Megabytes to Megabits using the convention, multiply 8721 by 8. This gives you 69768 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, 8721 Megabytes equals 69768 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.
