Key Formulas

Megabyte → Gigabyte

GB = MB × 0.000976563

Gigabyte → Megabyte

MB = GB × 1024

Gigabyte → Terabyte

TB = GB × 0.000976563

Terabyte → Gigabyte

GB = TB × 1024

Formula

Kb = Mb × 1024

A megabit is 1024 kilobits. Network engineers aggregate traffic at multiple levels — individual flows in Kbps aggregate to Mbps for link sizing. A 100 Mbps link carries 100,000 Kbps of aggregate traffic. Understanding Mb-to-Kb conversion helps with granular traffic analysis and capacity planning.
