Convert 1200 megabits/second to kilobytes/second
1200 megabit/second = 153600 kilobyte/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 kilobyte/second.
Step 1: Convert from megabit/second to Bit per Second
1200 × 1048576 = 1258291200
Result: 1258291200 Bit per Second
Step 2: Convert from Bit per Second to kilobyte/second
1258291200 × 0.00012207 = 153600
Result: 153600 kilobyte/second
Direct Conversion Factor
1200 × 128 = 153600
Direct conversion: 1200 megabit/second = 153600 kilobyte/second
Frequently Asked Questions
How many kilobytes/second are in 1200 megabits/second?
There are 153600 kilobytes/second in 1200 megabits/second.
What is 1200 megabits/second in kilobytes/second?
1200 megabits/second is equal to 153600 kilobytes/second. To perform this conversion yourself using the convention, multiply 1200 by 128.
How to convert 1200 megabits/second to kilobytes/second?
To convert 1200 megabits/second to kilobytes/second using the convention, multiply 1200 by 128. This gives you 153600 kilobytes/second.
What is the formula to convert megabits/second to kilobytes/second?
The formula to convert from megabits/second to kilobytes/second using the convention is: kilobytes/second = megabits/second × 128. Using this formula, 1200 megabits/second equals 153600 kilobytes/second.
What is the difference between megabits/second and kilobytes/second?
The main difference between megabits/second and kilobytes/second is that 1 megabits/second equals 128 kilobytes/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 kilobytes/second?
megabit/second is larger than kilobyte/second. Specifically, using the convention, 1 megabits/second equals 128 kilobytes/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.
