Converting from Kilobit per second (kb/s) to Megabyte per second (MB/s) | Data transfer

What is Kilobit per second (kb/s)

Kilobit per second (kb/s) is a unit of data transfer rate typically used to measure the speed of data transmission in a network. It represents the number of kilobits (thousands of bits) transferred each second.

What is Megabyte per second (MB/s)

Megabyte per second (MB/s) is another unit of data transfer rate often used to express the speed of data transfer. It indicates the amount of data measured in megabytes transferred per second.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from kilobit per second (kb/s) to megabyte per second (MB/s), you can use the following formulas:

• 1(kb/s)=0.000125(MB/s)

• 1(MB/s)=8000(kb/s)

Examples

1. Converting 3 kb/s to MB/s:

   • 3(kb/s)=3×0.000125=0.000375(MB/s)

2. Converting 12 MB/s to kb/s:

   • 12(MB/s)=12×8000=96000(kb/s)

3. If the speed is 16 kb/s, it is equivalent to:

   • 16(kb/s)=16×0.000125=0.002(MB/s)
