Megabits per month to Kibibits per hour conversion

How to convert megabits per month to kibibits per hour?

To convert 1 Megabit per month to Kibibits per hour, you need to understand both the units involved and the appropriate conversion ratios.

Base 10 (Decimal System)

1 Megabit (Mb) = 1,000,000 bits (b) 1 Kibibit (Kib) = 1,024 bits (b)

1 month ≈ 30.4375 days (using the average length of a month) 1 day = 24 hours

Conversion Steps

1. Calculate the total number of hours in a month: $30.4375 \text{ days/month} \times 24 \text{ hours/day} = 730.5 \text{ hours/month}$

2. Convert 1 Megabit to bits: $1 \text{ Mb} = 1,000,000 \text{ b}$

3. Calculate the number of bits per hour: $\frac{1,000,000 \text{ b}}{730.5 \text{ hours}} \approx 1368.95 \text{ b/hour}$

4. Convert bits per hour to Kibibits per hour: $\frac{1368.95 \text{ b/hour}}{1,024 \text{ b/Kib}} \approx 1.3365 \text{ Kib/hour}$

Base 2 (Binary System)

1 Megabit (Mb) = 2^20 bits (b) = 1,048,576 bits (b) 1 Kibibit (Kib) = 2^10 bits (b) = 1,024 bits (b)

1 month ≈ 30.4375 days (using the average length of a month) 1 day = 24 hours

Conversion Steps

1. Calculate the total number of hours in a month: $30.4375 \text{ days/month} \times 24 \text{ hours/day} = 730.5 \text{ hours/month}$

2. Convert 1 Megabit to bits: $1 \text{ Mb} = 1,048,576 \text{ b}$

3. Calculate the number of bits per hour: $\frac{1,048,576 \text{ b}}{730.5 \text{ hours}} \approx 1435.77 \text{ b/hour}$

4. Convert bits per hour to Kibibits per hour: $\frac{1435.77 \text{ b/hour}}{1,024 \text{ b/Kib}} \approx 1.4015 \text{ Kib/hour}$

Summary

• Base 10 (Decimal System): 1 Megabit per month ≈ 1.3365 Kibibits per hour
• Base 2 (Binary System): 1 Megabit per month ≈ 1.4015 Kibibits per hour
