How to Convert Kilobits to Megabits

"Kilobit (Kb) to Megabit (Mb) Diagram" — click any bar to view its data unit page, or set it as source/target.

To convert kilobits to megabits, divide by 1,000. This gives you the equivalent storage size in the target unit.

Kb: A kilobit is 1,000 bits. Often used for slower network connections and legacy data rates.

Mb: A megabit is 1,000 kilobits or 1,000,000 bits. Standard unit for internet connection speeds. Related: Kilobits to Petabits.

1 Kb = 0.001 Mb (using SI decimal standard) — or equivalently, 1 Mb = 1,000Kb.

Kb to Mb conversion rate: 1 kilobit equals 0.001megabits — the standard kilobit to megabit data storage conversion used by this calculator.
