Practice Essentials. Coronary artery atherosclerosis is the single largest killer of men and women in the United States. It is the principal cause of coronary artery disease (CAD), in which atherosclerotic changes are present within the walls of the coronary arteries.
A megabit, then, is approximately 1 million typed characters. Here is where the formula 8 bits = 1 byte can be used to convert megabits to megabytes, and vice versa. Another way to look at it is that a megabit is 1/8 of a megabyte, or that a megabyte is 8 times that of a megabit. Since we know that a megabyte is 8 times what the megabit value is, we can easily figure the megabyte equivalent by multiplying the megabit number by 8. Here are some easy examples: Eight (8) megabits = 1 megabyte (8 Mb = 1 MB) One (1) megabit = 1/8 megabyte = 0.125 megabyte (1Mb = 1/8 MB = 0.125 M)
A Megabit per second is a unit used to measure data transfer rates and is based on Decimal multiples of bits. The symbol for Megabit per second is Mbps or Mb/s or Mbit/s. There are 8,000 Megabits per second in a Gigabyte per second.
