How to Convert Megabits to Kilobits

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

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

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

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

1 Mb = 1,000 Kb (using SI decimal standard) — which means there are 1,000kilobits in every megabit.

Mb to Kb conversion rate: 1 megabit equals 1,000kilobits — the standard megabit to kilobit data storage conversion used by this calculator.
