FAQ Section
Q: Why are there different units for data measurement?
A: Data can be measured in bits (for transfer rates) or bytes (for storage). 1 byte equals 8 bits, which is why conversions between these units are not 1:1.
Q: What is the difference between a megabyte (MB) and a megabit (Mb)?
A: A megabyte (MB) is a unit of digital storage, while a megabit (Mb) is a unit of data transfer rate. 1 MB = 8 Mb.
Q: Are the results always rounded?
A: Yes, all results are rounded to three decimal places for clarity and practicality.
