The megabit is a unit of information storage, abbreviated Mbit or sometimes Mb.
1 megabit = 106 = 1,000,000 bits which is equal to 125,000 bytes or 125 kilobytes.
The megabit is most commonly used when referring to data transfer rates in network speeds, e.g. a 100 Mbit/s Fast Ethernet connection. In this context, like elsewhere in telecommunications, it always equals 106 bits. Residential high speed internet is often measured in megabits.
A binary counterpart of the megabit, useful for measuring RAM and ROM chip capacity, is the mebibit.

The person above has confused mb and MB
mb=1000000 bits or 125 KB approx
MB=8 x 1mb =8 x 1000000 bits =1024 kB

mb= megabyte; kb=kilobyte;gb=gigabyte; b=byte;tb= terabyte
Bytes stand for size= number of 1's and 0's you can get into a given area. Not memory! 1000 bytes=1kb, 1000kilabytes= 1mb, 1000 megabytes=1gb, 1000 gigabytes=1tb

If you think of 1 as "yes" and 0 as "no" then you can think of it as the computer having room to say "yes" or "no" 8589934592 times all at once

Megabyte, it's for the memory
