Examples
- 320 kbit ÷ 8,000 = 0.04 MB
- 128 kbit ÷ 8,000 = 0.016 MB
Good to know
A unit of bits, not bytes: 8 bits make 1 byte. Bit units are used for transfer speeds, byte units for file and storage sizes.
Decimal (SI) unit based on powers of 1000, as used by drive manufacturers. Windows reports sizes in binary units (powers of 1024) but labels them "KB", "MB", "GB" and "TB", so the same file or drive shows a smaller number there.
