Convert 31 megabytes/second to kilobytes/second
31 megabyte/second = 31744 kilobyte/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 kilobyte/second.
Step 1: Convert from megabyte/second to Bit per Second
31 × 8388608 = 260046848
Result: 260046848 Bit per Second
Step 2: Convert from Bit per Second to kilobyte/second
260046848 × 0.00012207 = 31744
Result: 31744 kilobyte/second
Direct Conversion Factor
31 × 1024 = 31744
Direct conversion: 31 megabyte/second = 31744 kilobyte/second
Frequently Asked Questions
How many kilobytes/second are in 31 megabytes/second?
There are 31744 kilobytes/second in 31 megabytes/second.
What is 31 megabytes/second in kilobytes/second?
31 megabytes/second is equal to 31744 kilobytes/second. To perform this conversion yourself using the convention, multiply 31 by 1024.
How to convert 31 megabytes/second to kilobytes/second?
To convert 31 megabytes/second to kilobytes/second using the convention, multiply 31 by 1024. This gives you 31744 kilobytes/second.
What is the formula to convert megabytes/second to kilobytes/second?
The formula to convert from megabytes/second to kilobytes/second using the convention is: kilobytes/second = megabytes/second × 1024. Using this formula, 31 megabytes/second equals 31744 kilobytes/second.
What is the difference between megabytes/second and kilobytes/second?
The main difference between megabytes/second and kilobytes/second is that 1 megabytes/second equals 1024 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 megabytes/second bigger than kilobytes/second?
megabyte/second is larger than kilobyte/second. Specifically, using the convention, 1 megabytes/second equals 1024 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.
