Megabits per Second to Kilobits per Second Converter
1 megabit per second = 1,000 kilobits per second
1 megabit per second equals 1,000 kilobits per second
How to convert megabits per second to kilobits per second
A byte per second is eight bits per second. Decimal Mbps and MB/s use powers of 1000; MiB/s uses a binary prefix. These are equivalent nominal rates; protocol overhead and network conditions affect achieved file-transfer speed.
kbit/s = Mbit/s × 1000One megabit per second is 1000 kilobits per second, so a single multiplication converts any value.
10,000 kbit/s = 10 × 1000Megabits per second to kilobits per second conversion table

Sources and precision
Table results are rounded to 8 significant digits; formula constants may be rounded to 10. Worked example answers use 6 significant digits. The converter starts at 6 significant digits and lets you change display precision. Calculations use the stored factors without intermediate rounding. Exact unit definitions do not make an input measurement more precise; conventional and measured factors follow the assumptions stated here.
