The megabit is a multiple of the unit bit for digital information. The prefix mega (symbol M) is defined in the International System of Units (SI) as a multiplier of 106 (1 million), and therefore 1 megabit = 106bits = 1 000 000 bits = 1000 kilobits.
The megabit has the unit symbol Mb or Mbit.
The exbibit is a multiple of the bit, a unit of digital information storage, prefixed by the standards-based multiplier exbi (symbol Ei), a binary prefix meaning 260. The unit symbol of the exbibit is Eibit. 1 exbibit = 260 bits = 1 152 921 504 606 846 976 bits = 1024 pebibits.
