How to convert kilobits per second to megabits per second

1 kbit/s = 0.001 Mbit/s, so multiply by 0.001 to go from kilobits per second to megabits per second. Going the other way, 1 Mbit/s = 1,000 kbit/s.

Mbit/s = kbit/s × 0.001
kbit/s = Mbit/s × 1,000

Worked example:

1 kbit/s = 0.001 Mbit/s
5 × 0.001 = 0.005 Mbit/s
