1 Byte = 8 Bit
Key Formulas
Megabyte → Gigabyte
GB = MB × 0.000976563Gigabyte → Megabyte
MB = GB × 1024Gigabyte → Terabyte
TB = GB × 0.000976563Terabyte → Gigabyte
GB = TB × 1024Formula
bits = bytes × 8A byte is always 8 bits — this fundamental relationship underlies all digital communication. Network speeds are measured in bits per second (Mbps, Gbps), while file sizes are in bytes (MB, GB). The distinction matters: if your internet speed is 100 Mbps, you can download about 12.5 MB per second.
