How to convert Bits per second to Megabits per second

To convert bits per second to megabits per second, multiply by 0.000001. One bit per second equals 0.000001 Mbps, and one megabit per second equals 1,000,000 bps.

  1. Take the value in bits per second — for example 7.5 bps.
  2. Multiply by 0.000001 (the number of megabits per second in one bit per second).
  3. 7.5 × 0.000001 = 0.0000075 Mbps.

Shortcut: the factor is a power of ten, so just move the decimal point 6 places to the left.

About converting Bits per second to Megabits per second

Bits per second (bps) and Megabits per second (Mbps) are both units of data-transfer rate. The exact factor is 1 bps = 0.000001 Mbps, so multiply by 0.000001 to go from bits per second to megabits per second (or divide to go back).

The conversion runs entirely in your browser. Need the reverse? Use the Megabits per second to Bits per second converter, or the full unit converter for every unit at once.

The units

Bits per second (bps)

One bit per second.

Used for: Data transfer, serial links.

Megabits per second (Mbps)

1,000,000 bits per second.

Used for: Broadband and mobile speeds.

Network speeds use decimal prefixes: 1 kbps = 1,000 bits per second and 1 Mbps = 1,000,000 bits per second. Remember 8 bits = 1 byte when comparing with download sizes.

Frequently asked questions

5 answers
How many megabits per second are in one bit per second?
One bit per second equals 0.000001 megabits per second.
How do I convert bits per second to megabits per second?
Multiply the number of bits per second by 0.000001. For example, 10 bits per second = 0.00001 megabits per second.
What is 5 bits per second in megabits per second?
5 bits per second is 0.000005 megabits per second.
Is a bit per second bigger than a megabit per second?
No. One bit per second is 0.000001 of a megabit per second — it takes 1,000,000 bits per second to make one megabit per second.
How many megabits per second is the FCC broadband benchmark?
The FCC broadband benchmark is 100 megabits per second (100,000,000 bits per second).
