Converting from Megabit (Mb) to Kilobyte (kB) | Data storage (1KB=1024B)

What is Megabit (Mb)

A Megabit (Mb) is a unit of data measurement commonly used in telecommunications and computing to describe data transfer rates. One Megabit is equal to 1,000,000 bits or 10^6 bits. It is primarily used to evaluate the speed of internet connections or the capacity of data storage. Megabits are abbreviated as "Mb" and often appear in contexts discussing bandwidth and download/upload speeds.

What is Kilobyte (kB)

A Kilobyte (kB) is another unit of data size, significantly smaller than a Megabit. Specifically, one Kilobyte is equal to 1,024 Bytes, which can also be represented as 1kB=1∗103B. Kilobytes are typically used for measuring file sizes, such as text documents or images.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from Megabits to Kilobytes, you can use the following formula:

To convert from Kilobytes to Megabits, the formula is:

Examples

Example 1: Converting 1 Mb to kB

Using the formula:

So, 1 Megabit is equivalent to 128 Kilobytes.

Example 2: Converting 12 Mb to kB

Using the same formula:

Thus, 12 Megabits equals 1,536 Kilobytes.

Example 3: Converting 4 kB to Mb

Using the conversion for kB to Mb:

This means that 4 Kilobytes is equal to 0.03125 Megabits.

Example 4: Converting 5 kB to Mb

Following the same method:

So, 5 Kilobytes equals 0.0390625 Megabits.
