How do I calculate the Mean Time between Failure (MTBF) for Altera devices?

Environment

BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
Description

The Mean Time between Failure (MTBF) is simply the inverse of the failure rate for an exponential distribution while the Failure in Time (FIT) rate is 10^9 x failure rate

MTBF = 1/failure rate

Example:

If FIT = 15.1, then MTBF = 10^9/15.1 = 66225165
