How to convert bytes per second to megabytes per second
A byte per second is 8 bits per second. Decimal Mbps and binary Mibit/s differ. These rates exclude protocol overhead; real transfer time also depends on throughput and latency.
Use x for the value in B/s, b for the intermediate value in bit/s, and y for the result in MB/s.
MB/s = B/s × 8 ÷ 8000000
Worked examples
10 B/s ≈ 0.00001 MB/s
Step 1: (10 × 8) ≈ 80 bit/s.
Step 2: 80 ÷ 8000000 ≈ 0.00001 MB/s.20 B/s ≈ 0.00002 MB/s
Step 1: (20 × 8) ≈ 160 bit/s.
Step 2: 160 ÷ 8000000 ≈ 0.00002 MB/s.
Results are rounded to 12 significant digits. Converting units does not increase the precision of the original measurement. Very large or small values outside JavaScript’s finite numeric range are rejected.
About Bytes per second
Bytes per second (B/s) measures data transfer under the conventions above. The base value in bit/s is (x × 8), where x is the numerical value in B/s. Factors shown here are rounded for display; calculations use the stored factor.
About Megabytes per second
Megabytes per second (MB/s) measures data transfer under the conventions above. The base value in bit/s is (x × 8000000), where x is the numerical value in MB/s. Factors shown here are rounded for display; calculations use the stored factor.
