All values are rounded to the nearest significant figure for display purposes.

Conversion Process

This conversion uses Bit per Second as the base unit. We'll first convert bit/second to Bit per Second, then convert from Bit per Second to megabyte/second.

Step 1: Convert from bit/second to Bit per Second

42 × 1 = 42

Result: 42 Bit per Second

Step 2: Convert from Bit per Second to megabyte/second

42 × 1.19209e-7 = 0.00000500679

Result: 0.00000500679 megabyte/second

Direct Conversion Factor

42 ÷ 8388608 = 0.00000500679

Direct conversion: 42 bit/second = 0.00000500679 megabyte/second

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How many megabytes/second are in 42 bits/second?

    There are 0.00000500679 megabytes/second in 42 bits/second.

  • What is 42 bits/second in megabytes/second?

    42 bits/second is equal to 0.00000500679 megabytes/second. To perform this conversion yourself using the convention, multiply 42 by 1.19209e-7.

  • How to convert 42 bits/second to megabytes/second?

    To convert 42 bits/second to megabytes/second using the convention, multiply 42 by 1.19209e-7. This gives you 0.00000500679 megabytes/second.

  • What is the formula to convert bits/second to megabytes/second?

    The formula to convert from bits/second to megabytes/second using the convention is: megabytes/second = bits/second × 1.19209e-7. Using this formula, 42 bits/second equals 0.00000500679 megabytes/second.

  • What is the difference between bits/second and megabytes/second?

    The main difference between bits/second and megabytes/second is that 1 bits/second equals 1.19209e-7 megabytes/second 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 bits/second bigger than megabytes/second?

    megabyte/second is larger than bit/second. Specifically, using the convention, 1 bits/second equals 1.19209e-7 megabytes/second.

  • 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.
