Key Formulas
Megabyte → Gigabyte
GB = MB × 0.000976563Gigabyte → Megabyte
MB = GB × 1024Gigabyte → Terabyte
TB = GB × 0.000976563Terabyte → Gigabyte
GB = TB × 1024Formula
bits = MB × 8388608A megabyte (1,048,576 bytes) equals 8,388,608 bits — since 1 byte = 8 bits. Network engineers calculate bits for link capacity, packet headers, and transmission timing. A 1 MB file over a 100 Mbps link takes 80 ms theoretical minimum (8 Mb ÷ 100 Mbps = 0.08 s).
