Hi Ismail, I am not very comfortable with the equation you have provided.
But for your questions, we are talking about 8 as all the bandwidth calculations are done in Kbps/Mbps etc. and it would be Kilo Bits Per second, not Kilo Bytes Per Second, so you need to convert Bytes or Octet values to Bits values. Secondly, you will be dividing (if that equation is somehow usable) by 10,000,000 because 10Mbps is equal to 10,000,000 bits per second only.
