Conversion Process

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

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

20.7 × 1073741824 = 22226455757

Result: 22226455757 Bit per Second

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

22226455757 × 1.19209e-7 = 2650

Result: 2650 megabyte/second

Direct Conversion Factor

20.7 × 128 = 2650

Direct conversion: 20.7 gigabit/second = 2650 megabyte/second

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How many megabytes/second are in 20.7 gigabits/second?

    There are 2650 megabytes/second in 20.7 gigabits/second.

  • What is 20.7 gigabits/second in megabytes/second?

    20.7 gigabits/second is equal to 2650 megabytes/second. To perform this conversion yourself using the convention, multiply 20.7 by 128.

  • How to convert 20.7 gigabits/second to megabytes/second?

    To convert 20.7 gigabits/second to megabytes/second using the convention, multiply 20.7 by 128. This gives you 2650 megabytes/second.

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

    The formula to convert from gigabits/second to megabytes/second using the convention is: megabytes/second = gigabits/second × 128. Using this formula, 20.7 gigabits/second equals 2650 megabytes/second.

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

    The main difference between gigabits/second and megabytes/second is that 1 gigabits/second equals 128 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 gigabits/second bigger than megabytes/second?

    gigabit/second is larger than megabyte/second. Specifically, using the convention, 1 gigabits/second equals 128 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.
