Enter the value in Megabyte and the tool will provide the Gigabit equivalent
Notation
- Megabyte is written as Mbyte or sometimes MB
- Gigabit is written as Gbit or Gb
Note the small ‘b’ denotes bit while uppercase ‘B’ stands for byte.
How many Gigabits in a Megabyte?
- 1 Mbyte = 8 Mbit
- 8 Mbit = 0.008 Gbit
therefore,
- 1 Mbyte = 0.008 Gbit
or
- 1 MB = 0.008 Gb
Background
