Since 1 megabit is equal to 1048576 bits, we could say that n megabits are equal to 1048576 times n bits. In other words, we could use the following formula:

For example, let's say that we want to convert 2.0 megabits to bits. Then, we just replace megabits in the abovementioned formula with 2.0:

That is, 2.0 megabits are equal to 2097152.0 bits.

At CheatSheeting.com, we follow the traditional computing convention where a kilobyte (KB) represents 1024 bytes due to the binary nature of digital storage (This convention applies similarly to other units like megabytes, gigabytes, terabytes, etc.) However, it's important to note that in some contexts, particularly in standardized units (SI), a kilobyte might be interpreted as 1000 bytes.

This difference in interpretation could lead to variations when comparing storage sizes across different platforms or websites that might adhere strictly to the SI metric system.

We want our users to be aware of this discrepancy, so when comparing our storage sizes to other sources, especially those following SI standards, you might notice a slight variation due to the differing definitions of kilobyte.
