How to convert Megabits per second to Bits per second

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

  1. Take the value in megabits per second — for example 7.5 Mbps.
  2. Multiply by 1,000,000 (the number of bits per second in one megabit per second).
  3. 7.5 × 1,000,000 = 7,500,000 bps.

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

About converting Megabits per second to Bits per second

Megabits per second (Mbps) and Bits per second (bps) are both units of data-transfer rate. The exact factor is 1 Mbps = 1,000,000 bps, so multiply by 1,000,000 to go from megabits per second to bits per second (or divide to go back).

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

The units

Megabits per second (Mbps)

1,000,000 bits per second.

Used for: Broadband and mobile speeds.

Bits per second (bps)

One bit per second.

Used for: Data transfer, serial links.

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 bits per second are in one megabit per second?
One megabit per second equals 1,000,000 bits per second.
How do I convert megabits per second to bits per second?
Multiply the number of megabits per second by 1,000,000. For example, 10 megabits per second = 10,000,000 bits per second.
What is 5 megabits per second in bits per second?
5 megabits per second is 5,000,000 bits per second.
Is a megabit per second bigger than a bit per second?
Yes. One megabit per second equals 1,000,000 bits per second, so it is 1,000,000 times larger.
How many bits per second is the FCC broadband benchmark?
The FCC broadband benchmark is 100,000,000 bits per second (100 megabits per second).
