Mebibits per day to Bytes per hour conversion

How to convert mebibits per day to bytes per hour?

Certainly! To convert Mebibits per day (Mib/day) to Bytes per hour (B/hr), you need to follow a series of steps, taking into account that there are differences between the base-10 (decimal) and base-2 (binary) systems.

Base-2 (Binary System)

1. Understand the units:

   • 1 Mebibit (Mib) = 2^20 bits
   • 1 Byte (B) = 8 bits

2. Convert Mebibits to bits:

   • 1 Mib/day = 1 * 2^20 bits/day = 1,048,576 bits/day

3. Convert bits to Bytes:

   • 1,048,576 bits/day ÷ 8 bits/Byte = 131,072 Bytes/day

4. Convert days to hours:

   • There are 24 hours in a day
   • 131,072 Bytes/day ÷ 24 hours/day = 5,461⅓ Bytes/hour

Thus, 1 Mib/day is approximately 5,461.33 Bytes per hour in the base-2 system.

Base-10 (Decimal System)

1. Understand the units:

   • 1 Megabit (Mb) = 1,000,000 bits
   • 1 Byte (B) = 8 bits

2. Convert Megabits to bits:

   • 1 Mb/day = 1,000,000 bits/day

3. Convert bits to Bytes:

   • 1,000,000 bits/day ÷ 8 bits/Byte = 125,000 Bytes/day

4. Convert days to hours:

   • There are 24 hours in a day
   • 125,000 Bytes/day ÷ 24 hours/day = 5,208.33 Bytes/hour

Thus, 1 Mb/day is approximately 5,208.33 Bytes per hour in the base-10 system.

Real-World Examples

Let's examine higher quantities of Mebibits per day using the base-2 (binary) system:

• 10 Mib/day:

  • $10 \times 1,048,576 \text{ bits/day} = 10,485,760 \text{ bits/day}$
  • $10,485,760 \text{ bits/day} \div 8 = 1,310,720 \text{ Bytes/day}$
  • $1,310,720 \text{ Bytes/day} \div 24 = 54,613.^3 \text{ Bytes/hour}$

• 64 Mib/day:

  • $64 \times 1,048,576 \text{ bits/day} = 67,108,864 \text{ bits/day}$
  • $67,108,864 \text{ bits/day} \div 8 = 8,388,608 \text{ Bytes/day}$
  • $8,388,608 \text{ Bytes/day} \div 24 = 349,525.\overline{^3} \text{ Bytes/hour}$

• 128 Mib/day:

  • $128 \times 1,048,576 \text{ bits/day} = 134,217,728 \text{ bits/day}$
  • $134,217,728 \text{ bits/day} \div 8 = 16,777,216 \text{ Bytes/day}$
  • $16,777,216 \text{ Bytes/day} \div 24 = 699,048.^3 \text{ Bytes/hour}$

These examples give you a sense of how to scale the conversion and understand different quantities in real-world applications such as data transfer rates for networks, downloading/uploading speeds, and data consumption over time.
