Here is what I get when I complete the search.
And here’s what I get when I intentionally change the units. Notice the color difference?
What’s wrong? I find this a reasonable result. Most people looking for megabyte to bytes are actually looking for mebibytes, since the mega- prefix is literally just times a million but a lot of programs actually list mebibytes as “megabytes”.
Sorry, I changed it manually. I should have cropped out the search.
?? It’s correct, what’s the issue here?
Maybe the OP can’t read scientific notation?
Sounds like a skill issue
It does not give the exact answer, only an approximation.
Ah OK, good point. I tend to forget that ‘good enough’ is not what other people might want in their measurements precision
GPT gave me this yesterday:
To convert 500 KiB/s to a more common unit like megabits per second (Mbps):
-
Understand the conversion factors:
- 1 KiB (Kibibyte) = 1024 bytes
- 1 byte = 8 bits
-
Calculate the speed in bits per second:
- 500 KiB/s = 500 * 1024 bytes/s = 512000 bytes/s
- 512000 bytes/s * 8 bits/byte = 4096000 bits/s
-
Convert bits per second to megabits per second:
- 1 Mbps = 1,000,000 bits/s (for simplicity, although technically 1 Mbps = 1,048,576 bits/s, the simpler metric is usually used for network speeds)
- 4096000 bits/s / 1,000,000 = 4.096 Mbps
So, 500 KiB/s is approximately 4.1 Mbps.
I was like, I just wanted the answer!
That’s for its own benefit. It has to talk through it (or alternatively code through it) to work out the answer. S’just showing its work.
