How to convert Mbps to MBps or Kbps to KBps

  What is the difference between Mbps and MBps or Kbps and KBps Like and share our page Technology Reveals Here Most of the people have a misconception that 1 Mbps speed means 1 MB data will transfer in 1 second. But it's not like that actually. Simply for converting 1 Mbps to MB , just divide it by 8. That is 0.125 MB (125 KB ) data transfers in 1 second. Detailed discription. 1 Mbps -- 1 M ega b its p er s econd 1 MBps -- 1  M ega  b its  p er  s econd 1 MBps = 8 Mbps 1000 Kbps = 1 Mbps These are transfer rates or speed. Don't confuse it with size of files. For size, 8 bits = 1 byte 1024 bytes = 1 KB 1024 KB = 1 MB and so on... Convert it simply 256 Kbps = 256/8 = 32 KBps 512 Kbps = 512/8 = 64 KBps 2 Mbps = 2/8 = 0.25 MBps 2 Mbps = (2*1000)/8 = 250 KBps Multiplication with 1000 is for converting Mb to Kb (Don't use size conversion factor 1024). Dividing by 8 is for converting bits to bytes
