Megabytes to Megabits (MB to Mbit)
Convert megabytes to megabits: 1 MB = 8 Mbit. Exact conversion factor, formula, 18-row table and worked examples, with JSON API and MCP access.
Formula
1 MB = 8 Mbit
megabits = megabytes × 8 — reverse: megabytes = megabits × 0.125
The factor is derived from the SI definitions of both units (base unit: B) as listed in NIST SP 811; results on this page are shown to 6 significant figures, the API returns up to 12.
Worked examples
- 1.5 MB = 12 Mbit
- 700 MB = 5600 Mbit
- 2048 MB = 16384 Mbit

FAQ
How many megabits are in one megabyte?
1 MB = 8 Mbit. The factor comes from the SI definitions of both units (NIST SP 811 / BIPM), so it is exact or correct to at least 10 significant figures.
What is the formula to convert megabytes to megabits?
Multiply the value in megabytes by 8: megabits = megabytes × 8. For example, 1.5 MB = 12 Mbit.
How do I convert megabits back to megabytes?
Multiply by the inverse factor 0.125 (megabytes = megabits × 0.125), or use the megabits-to-megabytes page.
