Data Rate Converter

1 byte per second (B/s) equals 8 bit per second (bit/s).

How it works

• Expressed the source unit in bit per second using its exact factor.
• Divided by the target unit expressed in bit per second.
• Rounded the result to 12 significant digits.

1 byte_s = 8 bit_s

• Both units measure data transfer rate, so the conversion is a single exact multiplication.

Methodology

1. Express every unit as an exact factor to the bit per second base.
2. Multiply the input by the source factor and divide by the target factor.
3. Round the result to 12 significant digits so a convert-then-convert-back operation stays within floating-point tolerance.

Usage

1. Enter the value to convert.
2. Choose the source and target units.
3. Read the converted value and the conversion formula.

Byte per second to bit per second

{
  "value": 1,
  "from": "byte_s",
  "to": "bit_s"
}

Megabit to megabyte per second

{
  "value": 100,
  "from": "mbit_s",
  "to": "mb_s"
}

Gigabit to megabit per second

{
  "value": 1,
  "from": "gbit_s",
  "to": "mbit_s"
}

Limitations

Exact data transfer rate factors

Every data transfer rate unit is defined as an exact multiple of the bit per second, so the conversion is a single multiplication with no approximation beyond floating-point representation.
