Formula

MB = bits × 1.1921e-7

A bit is 1/8,388,608 of a megabyte (since 1 MB = 8,388,608 bits). Converting bits to MB gives tiny fractional values useful for precise network calculations. At 10 Mbps speeds, a 1 MB file takes ~800 ms — the bits-to-MB conversion helps calculate precise transfer times.
