Convert 123 megabytes/second to gigabits/second
123 megabyte/second = 0.961 gigabit/second
Conversion Process
This conversion uses Bit per Second as the base unit. We'll first convert megabyte/second to Bit per Second, then convert from Bit per Second to gigabit/second.
Step 1: Convert from megabyte/second to Bit per Second
123 × 8388608 = 1031798784
Result: 1031798784 Bit per Second
Step 2: Convert from Bit per Second to gigabit/second
1031798784 × 9.31323e-10 = 0.961
Result: 0.961 gigabit/second
Direct Conversion Factor
123 ÷ 128 = 0.961
Direct conversion: 123 megabyte/second = 0.961 gigabit/second
Frequently Asked Questions
How many gigabits/second are in 123 megabytes/second?
There are 0.961 gigabits/second in 123 megabytes/second.
What is 123 megabytes/second in gigabits/second?
123 megabytes/second is equal to 0.961 gigabits/second. To perform this conversion yourself using the convention, multiply 123 by 0.007813.
How to convert 123 megabytes/second to gigabits/second?
To convert 123 megabytes/second to gigabits/second using the convention, multiply 123 by 0.007813. This gives you 0.961 gigabits/second.
What is the formula to convert megabytes/second to gigabits/second?
The formula to convert from megabytes/second to gigabits/second using the convention is: gigabits/second = megabytes/second × 0.007813. Using this formula, 123 megabytes/second equals 0.961 gigabits/second.
What is the difference between megabytes/second and gigabits/second?
The main difference between megabytes/second and gigabits/second is that 1 megabytes/second equals 0.007813 gigabits/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 megabytes/second bigger than gigabits/second?
gigabit/second is larger than megabyte/second. Specifically, using the convention, 1 megabytes/second equals 0.007813 gigabits/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.
