1 kilobit per second (kb/s) is equal to 0.000125 megabyte per second (MB/s).
1 kb/s = 0.000125 MB/s
or
1 MB/s = 8000 kb/s
Formula
To convert a data transfer rate from kilobit per second (kb/s) to megabyte per second (MB/s), divide the data transfer rate in kilobit per second by 8000
d(MB/s) = d(kb/s) / 8000
Examples:
Convert 500 kilobit per second to megabyte per second:
d(MB/s) = 500kb/s / 8000 = 0.0625 MB/s
