Data units with storage and memory capacities

                 The bit is the basis for all data storage units, and an 8-bit byte (1 byte = 8 bits) is the basic unit of data storage. Werner Buchholz first used the phrase in June 1956, while the IBM Stretch early computer was still in the early stages of creation [3]. Other systems with 10-bit bytes were available at first, but they are hardly in use now. KiloBytes, MegaBytes, GigaBytes, TeraBytes, PetaBytes, and so forth are all generated from the smaller unit multiplied by 1024 in the conventional binary system. Thus:

Binary  data units : 

Unit                Symbol Equals
Byte                  B        8 bits
KiloByte        KB       1024 Bytes
MegaByte MB       1024 KiloBytes
GigaByte         GB       1024 MegaBytes
TeraByte         TB       1024 GigaBytes
PetaByte         PB       1024 TeraBytes

 SI data units

KiloByte         KB        1000 Bytes
MegaByte MB        1000 KiloBytes
GigaByte         GB        1000 MegaBytes

20 megabits to megabytes conversion formula examples ( SI )

In the binary system, where 1 byte is defined as 8 bits, the conversion from megabits (Mb) to megabytes (MB) is still given by the following formula:

Megabytes (MB)=Megabits (Mb)8

Now, let's apply this formula to convert 20 megabits to megabytes:

MB=20Mb8=2.5MB

So, whether in the SI or binary system, 20 megabits is equal to 2.5 megabytes. The conversion is the same in both systems because the definition of a byte remains constant (8 bits).

Mbps to MB per second

50 Mbps to MB/s conversion formula examples ( SI )

To convert megabits per second (Mbps) to megabytes per second (MB/s) in the binary system, you use the fact that there are 8 bits in a byte. Therefore, the conversion formula is:

Megabytes per second (MB/s)=Megabits per second (Mbps)8

Now, let's apply this formula to convert 50 Mbps to MB/s:

MB/s=50Mbps8=6.25MB/s

So, 50 megabits per second is equal to 6.25 megabytes per second in the binary system.


Gigabyte To Megabyte
20 gigabytes to megabytes conversion formula examples ( SI )

In the International System of Units (SI), 1 gigabyte (GB) is defined as 103 megabytes (MB). Therefore, the conversion formula from gigabytes to megabytes in the SI system is:

Megabytes (MB)=Gigabytes (GB)×103

Now, let's apply this formula to convert 20 gigabytes to megabytes:

MB=20GB×103=20GB×1000MB/GB=20,000MB

So, 20 gigabytes is equal to 20,000 megabytes in the SI system.


20 gigabytes to megabytes conversion formula examples (binary)

In the binary system, 1 gigabyte (GB) is equivalent to 210 megabytes (MB). Therefore, to convert gigabytes to megabytes in the binary system, you use the following formula:

Megabytes (MB)=Gigabytes (GB)×210

Now, let's apply this formula to convert 20 gigabytes to megabytes:

MB=20GB×210=20GB×1024MB/GB=20,480MB

So, 20 gigabytes is equal to 20,480 megabytes in the binary system.


Kilobytes to Megabytes
1000 kilobytes to megabytes conversion formula examples ( SI )

In the International System of Units (SI), where 1 kilobyte (KB) is defined as 1000 bytes and 1 megabyte (MB) is defined as 1000 kilobytes, the conversion formula is:

Megabytes (MB)=Kilobytes (KB)1000

Now, let's apply this formula to convert 1000 kilobytes to megabytes:

MB=1000KB1000=1MB

So, 1000 kilobytes is equal to 1 megabyte in the SI system.


1024 kilobytes to megabytes conversion formula examples ( Binary )

To convert kilobytes (KB) to megabytes (MB), you can use the following conversion formula:

Megabytes (MB)=Kilobytes (KB)1024

Here are a few examples:

  1. Example: Convert 1024 Kilobytes to Megabytes MB=1024KB1024=1MB

  2. Example: Convert 2048 Kilobytes to Megabytes MB=2048KB1024=2MB

  3. Example: Convert 5120 Kilobytes to Megabytes MB=5120KB1024=5MB

You divide the number of kilobytes by 1024 to get the equivalent value in megabytes, as 1 megabyte is equal to 1024 kilobytes.
