How many bytes are in a megabit (decimal)?
There are 125,000 bytes in 1 decimal megabit (Mb).
Detailed answer
1 Mb = 10⁶ bits. Dividing by 8 bits per byte gives 10⁶ ÷ 8 = 125,000 bytes. Use this to compare network megabits per second with file sizes in bytes or kilobytes.
Relationship context
ISP speeds use megabits per second; downloads are often shown in MB—divide Mb/s by 8 for a rough MB/s upper bound before overhead.
