Convert 20 megabytes/second to gigabytes/second
20 megabyte/second = 0.01953 gigabyte/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 gigabyte/second.
Step 1: Convert from megabyte/second to Bit per Second
20 × 8388608 = 167772160
Result: 167772160 Bit per Second
Step 2: Convert from Bit per Second to gigabyte/second
167772160 × 1.16415e-10 = 0.01953
Result: 0.01953 gigabyte/second
Direct Conversion Factor
20 ÷ 1024 = 0.01953
Direct conversion: 20 megabyte/second = 0.01953 gigabyte/second
Frequently Asked Questions
How many gigabytes/second are in 20 megabytes/second?
There are 0.01953 gigabytes/second in 20 megabytes/second.
What is 20 megabytes/second in gigabytes/second?
20 megabytes/second is equal to 0.01953 gigabytes/second. To perform this conversion yourself using the convention, multiply 20 by 0.000976563.
How to convert 20 megabytes/second to gigabytes/second?
To convert 20 megabytes/second to gigabytes/second using the convention, multiply 20 by 0.000976563. This gives you 0.01953 gigabytes/second.
What is the formula to convert megabytes/second to gigabytes/second?
The formula to convert from megabytes/second to gigabytes/second using the convention is: gigabytes/second = megabytes/second × 0.000976563. Using this formula, 20 megabytes/second equals 0.01953 gigabytes/second.
What is the difference between megabytes/second and gigabytes/second?
The main difference between megabytes/second and gigabytes/second is that 1 megabytes/second equals 0.000976563 gigabytes/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 gigabytes/second?
gigabyte/second is larger than megabyte/second. Specifically, using the convention, 1 megabytes/second equals 0.000976563 gigabytes/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.
