Equal to 1024^2 bits
(Binary Unit)

The formula of converting the Megabyte to Mebibit is represented as follows :

Mibit = MB x (8x10002) / 10242

Note : Here we are converting the units between different standards. The source unit Megabyte is Decimal where as the target unit Mebibit is Binary. In such scenario, first we need to convert the source unit to the basic unit - Byte - multiply with 8x1000^2, and then convert to target unit by dividing with 1024^2 .

Now let us apply the above formula and, write down the steps to convert from Megabyte (MB) to Mebibit (Mibit). This way, we can try to simplify and reduce to an easy to apply formula.

FORMULA

Mebibit = Megabyte x (8x10002) / 10242

STEP 1

Mebibit = Megabyte x (8x1000x1000) / (1024x1024)

STEP 2

Mebibit = Megabyte x 8000000 / 1048576

STEP 3

Mebibit = Megabyte x 7.62939453125

Example : If we apply the above Formula and steps, conversion from 10 MB to Mibit, will be processed as below.

  1. = 10 x (8x10002) / 10242
  2. = 10 x (8x1000x1000) / (1024x1024)
  3. = 10 x 8000000 / 1048576
  4. = 10 x 7.62939453125
  5. = 76.2939453125
  6. i.e. 10 MB is equal to 76.2939453125 Mibit.

(Result rounded off to 40 decimal positions.)

You can use above formula and steps to convert Megabyte to Mebibit using any of the programming language such as Java, Python or Powershell.
