Mathematical Conversion Derivation via Coherent SI Base Unit

Under the International System of Quantities (ISQ), dimensional conversion between non-SI units is rigorously resolved by bridging through the coherent SI base unit (byte (B)) without arbitrary rounding:

Vtarget=Vsource×(ksource→SIktarget→SI)V_{\text{target}} = V_{\text{source}} \times \left( \frac{k_{\text{source} \to \text{SI}}}{k_{\text{target} \to \text{SI}}} \right)

2. Target SI Bridge (ktarget):1 Mbit = 125000 byte (B)
Step-by-step substitution for Gibibit → Megabit:V(Mbit) = V(Gibit) × ( 1.342177 × 10⁸ / 125000 ) = V(Gibit) × 1073.741824
