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 megabit/second.

Step 1: Convert from megabyte/second to Bit per Second

21 × 8388608 = 176160768

Result: 176160768 Bit per Second

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

176160768 × 9.53674e-7 = 168

Result: 168 megabit/second

Direct Conversion Factor

21 × 8 = 168

Direct conversion: 21 megabyte/second = 168 megabit/second

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How many megabits/second are in 21 megabytes/second?

    There are 168 megabits/second in 21 megabytes/second.

  • What is 21 megabytes/second in megabits/second?

    21 megabytes/second is equal to 168 megabits/second. To perform this conversion yourself using the convention, multiply 21 by 8.

  • How to convert 21 megabytes/second to megabits/second?

    To convert 21 megabytes/second to megabits/second using the convention, multiply 21 by 8. This gives you 168 megabits/second.

  • What is the formula to convert megabytes/second to megabits/second?

    The formula to convert from megabytes/second to megabits/second using the convention is: megabits/second = megabytes/second × 8. Using this formula, 21 megabytes/second equals 168 megabits/second.

  • What is the difference between megabytes/second and megabits/second?

    The main difference between megabytes/second and megabits/second is that 1 megabytes/second equals 8 megabits/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 megabits/second?

    megabyte/second is larger than megabit/second. Specifically, using the convention, 1 megabytes/second equals 8 megabits/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.
