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

8742 × 1048576 = 9166651392

Result: 9166651392 Bit per Second

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

9166651392 × 0.125 = 1145831424

Result: 1145831424 byte/second

Direct Conversion Factor

8742 × 131072 = 1145831424

Direct conversion: 8742 megabit/second = 1145831424 byte/second

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How many bytes/second are in 8742 megabits/second?

    There are 1145831424 bytes/second in 8742 megabits/second.

  • What is 8742 megabits/second in bytes/second?

    8742 megabits/second is equal to 1145831424 bytes/second. To perform this conversion yourself using the convention, multiply 8742 by 131072.

  • How to convert 8742 megabits/second to bytes/second?

    To convert 8742 megabits/second to bytes/second using the convention, multiply 8742 by 131072. This gives you 1145831424 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, 8742 megabits/second equals 1145831424 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.
