In this article I will show you how to convert 242 megabits into megabytes. Throughout the explanation below I might also call it 242 mbits to mbytes. They are the same thing!
How to Convert Megabits to Megabytes
A megabit is smaller than a megabyte. I know that a mbits is smaller than a mbytes because of something called conversion factors.
Put very simply, a conversion factor is a number that can be used to change one set of units to another, by multiplying or dividing it. So when we need to convert 242 megabits into megabytes, we use a conversion factor to get the answer.
The conversion factor for mbits to mbytes is:
Now that we know what the conversion factor is, we can easily calculate the conversion of 242 mbits to mbytes by multiplying 0.125 by the number of megabits we have, which is 242.
So, the answer to the question "what is 242 megabits in megabytes?" is 30.25 mbytes.
