How many megabits are in a gigabyte (decimal)?
There are 8,000 megabits in 1 decimal gigabyte (GB).
Detailed answer
1 GB = 8 × 10⁹ bits (8 bits per byte × 10⁹ bytes). One megabit is 10⁶ bits, so (8 × 10⁹) ÷ 10⁶ = 8,000 Mb per GB.
Relationship context
Useful when comparing file size in GB with a line rate quoted in Mbps.
