Mbps Formula
The following formula is used to convert megabytes per second into megabits per second.
Mbps = 8 * MB/s
- Where Mbps is megabits per second
- MB/s is megabytes per second
To calculate the megabits per second, multiply the megabytes per second by 8.
Mbps Definition
What is Mbps?
Mbps, short for megabits per second, is a unit of measure of data transfer per unit of time.
Mbps should not be confused with MB/s which is megabytes per second, not megabits. 1 byte is equal to 8 bits.
Example Problem
How to calculate Mbps?
- First, determine the total megabytes per second of data transfer.
For this example, the megabytes per second (MB/s) is found to be 50.
- Next, convert into Mbps using the formula.
Using the formula above, the megabits per second is calculated to be:
Mbps = 8 * MB/s
Mbps = 8 * 50
Mbps = 400
