Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello There!

Here is some basic information about megabits and megabytes

Megabytes: Generally used to measure the size of a game. For example when downloading a game on a console or a mobile device the size of the game will be measured in bytes (megabytes). Ex: The game "Among Us" has a size of 250 megabytes

Megabits: Generally used to measure the speed internet is. To be more specific the speed of the download in progress. So when downloading "Among Us" the speed at which its downloading at is measured in megabits

Having a general idea of each measure lets look back at the question

Is a megabit bigger than a megabyte.

The answer would be No

According to many sources 1 megabit is the equivalent of only an eighth of a megabyte. Therefore the answer would be no.
