Conversion Process

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

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

42 × 1048576 = 44040192

Result: 44040192 Bit per Second

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

44040192 × 1 = 44040192

Result: 44040192 bit/second

Direct Conversion Factor

42 × 1048576 = 44040192

Direct conversion: 42 megabit/second = 44040192 bit/second

Frequently Asked Questions

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

    There are 44040192 bits/second in 42 megabits/second.

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

    42 megabits/second is equal to 44040192 bits/second. To perform this conversion yourself using the convention, multiply 42 by 1048576.

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

    To convert 42 megabits/second to bits/second using the convention, multiply 42 by 1048576. This gives you 44040192 bits/second.

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

    The formula to convert from megabits/second to bits/second using the convention is: bits/second = megabits/second × 1048576. Using this formula, 42 megabits/second equals 44040192 bits/second.

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

    The main difference between megabits/second and bits/second is that 1 megabits/second equals 1048576 bits/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 megabits/second bigger than bits/second?

    megabit/second is larger than bit/second. Specifically, using the convention, 1 megabits/second equals 1048576 bits/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.
