All values are rounded to the nearest significant figure for display purposes.

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

16 × 8388608 = 134217728

Result: 134217728 Bit per Second

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

134217728 × 9.31323e-10 = 0.125

Result: 0.125 gigabit/second

Direct Conversion Factor

16 ÷ 128 = 0.125

Direct conversion: 16 megabyte/second = 0.125 gigabit/second

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How many gigabits/second are in 16 megabytes/second?

    There are 0.125 gigabits/second in 16 megabytes/second.

  • What is 16 megabytes/second in gigabits/second?

    16 megabytes/second is equal to 0.125 gigabits/second. To perform this conversion yourself using the convention, multiply 16 by 0.007813.

  • How to convert 16 megabytes/second to gigabits/second?

    To convert 16 megabytes/second to gigabits/second using the convention, multiply 16 by 0.007813. This gives you 0.125 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, 16 megabytes/second equals 0.125 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.
