To convert gigabytes (GB) to megabits (Mb), we need to know two things:
1 byte (B) = 8 bits (b)
So, our task is to go from gigabytes to bytes, and then from bytes to bits.
1 GB (base 10) = 1,000,000,000 bytes
Convert GB to bytes: 1 GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes
Convert bytes to bits: 1,000,000,000 bytes × 8 bits/byte = 8,000,000,000 bits
Convert bits to megabits: 1 megabit (Mb) = 1,000,000 bits 8,000,000,000 bits ÷ 1,000,000 bits/Mb = 8,000 megabits
So, 1 GB (base 10) = 8,000 Mb.
1 GiB (base 2) = 2^30 bytes = 1,073,741,824 bytes (GiB stands for Gibibyte, the binary version of gigabyte)
Convert GiB to bytes: 1 GiB = 1,073,741,824 bytes
Convert bytes to bits: 1,073,741,824 bytes × 8 bits/byte = 8,589,934,592 bits
Convert bits to megabits: 1 mebibit (Mib) = 2^20 bits = 1,048,576 bits 8,589,934,592 bits ÷ 1,048,576 bits/Mib ≈ 8192 mebibits (Mib)
So, 1 GiB (base 2) ≈ 8192 Mib.

These examples show how the conversions differ slightly depending on whether you use the base 10 or base 2 system, which is important in various storage and data transfer contexts.
See below section for step by step unit conversion with formulas and explanations. Please refer to the table below for a list of all the Megabits to other unit conversions.
Gigabyte, , is a unit of digital information. Giga is used as a unit prefix in metrics system. It represent a numerical value or . List of SI prefix can be found on Wikipidia.
There are two common ways unit of information is represented. One is in decimal (base 10) form and the other is in power of 2 (binary). is referring to the base 10 format, unlike which is referring to base 2 format.

Megabits (Mb) is a unit of measurement used to express digital data, particularly in the context of internet connectivity and digital communication.
In simple terms, a megabit is a large amount of binary information that can be transmitted or stored digitally. Here's how it breaks down:
To put it in perspective, here are some examples of data sizes:
In internet connectivity, megabits are often used to describe the maximum data transfer rate that a network connection can handle. For example:
In summary, megabits are a measure of digital data and are often used in the context of internet connectivity, storage capacity, and digital communication.
