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)
Megabyte or MB. One megabyte is about 1 million bytes (or about 1000 kilobytes). An MP3 audio file of a few minutes or a 10 million pixel image from a digital camera would typically take up few megabytes. The rule of thumb for MP3 audio is that 1 minute of audio takes up about 1 megabyte.
