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 byte/second.

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

2946 × 1048576 = 3089104896

Result: 3089104896 Bit per Second

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

3089104896 × 0.125 = 386138112

Result: 386138112 byte/second

Direct Conversion Factor

2946 × 131072 = 386138112

Direct conversion: 2946 megabit/second = 386138112 byte/second

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How many bytes/second are in 2946 megabits/second?

    There are 386138112 bytes/second in 2946 megabits/second.

  • What is 2946 megabits/second in bytes/second?

    2946 megabits/second is equal to 386138112 bytes/second. To perform this conversion yourself using the convention, multiply 2946 by 131072.

  • How to convert 2946 megabits/second to bytes/second?

    To convert 2946 megabits/second to bytes/second using the convention, multiply 2946 by 131072. This gives you 386138112 bytes/second.

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

    The formula to convert from megabits/second to bytes/second using the convention is: bytes/second = megabits/second × 131072. Using this formula, 2946 megabits/second equals 386138112 bytes/second.

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

    The main difference between megabits/second and bytes/second is that 1 megabits/second equals 131072 bytes/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 bytes/second?

    megabit/second is larger than byte/second. Specifically, using the convention, 1 megabits/second equals 131072 bytes/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.
