1 megabyte (MB) = 8,000,000 bits (bit). To convert, multiply by 8,000,000: bit = MB × 8,000,000. For example, 5 MB = 40,000,000 bit.
bit = MB × 8,000,000

The two units
Megabyte (MB). One million bytes. Windows shows sizes in units of 1,048,576 bytes but labels them MB.
Bit (bit). A single binary digit, 0 or 1. Network speeds are quoted in bits per second.
Because both units are defined in terms of the same base unit, the factor 8,000,000 is exact, not a rounded measurement.
