## How the conversion works

The relationship is Mb = kB × 0.008. Both units measure data, so the conversion is a fixed factor that never changes.

> Kilobyte: Decimal: 1,000 bytes.

## Common questions

### How many megabits are in one kilobyte?

One kilobyte equals 0.008 megabits. Mb = kB × 0.008.

### How do you convert kilobytes to megabits?

Use Mb = kB × 0.008. So 10 kB is 0.08 Mb.

### How many kilobytes are in one megabit?

One megabit equals 125 kilobytes, which is the reverse of the conversion above.

### Is there more than one kind of kilobyte?

Decimal: 1,000 bytes.
