Convert 2980 megabits/second to bytes/second
2980 megabit/second = 390594560 byte/second
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
2980 × 1048576 = 3124756480
Result: 3124756480 Bit per Second
Step 2: Convert from Bit per Second to byte/second
3124756480 × 0.125 = 390594560
Result: 390594560 byte/second
Direct Conversion Factor
2980 × 131072 = 390594560
Direct conversion: 2980 megabit/second = 390594560 byte/second
Frequently Asked Questions
How many bytes/second are in 2980 megabits/second?
There are 390594560 bytes/second in 2980 megabits/second.
What is 2980 megabits/second in bytes/second?
2980 megabits/second is equal to 390594560 bytes/second. To perform this conversion yourself using the convention, multiply 2980 by 131072.
How to convert 2980 megabits/second to bytes/second?
To convert 2980 megabits/second to bytes/second using the convention, multiply 2980 by 131072. This gives you 390594560 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, 2980 megabits/second equals 390594560 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.
