Hard-disk manufacturers say 1 Megabyte is 1.000.000 bytes sharp.
Memory-manufacturers calculate this different as all memorychips are multiples of 8 bits.
The Binary numbersystem is used and the closest binary number that fills all bits is:
11111111111111111111
The decimal representation of this is 1.048.575 bytes. IE One megabyte.
When counting data we use decimal numbersystem.
When counting memory we use Binary numbersystem.
This is not likely to ever change because of the way computers and memorychips work.

How many GB in 1 MB?
A GB is a giga byte, which is larger than a MG or mega byte. A mega byte is 10 to the 6th power, a giga byte is 10 to the 9th power. A giga byte then goes into a mega byte .66666 times. If you need how many mega bytes into a giga byte, it's 1.5.
How many pixels go into one mega byte?
1
How many Mbits in a Mbps?
1 Mega Byte = 8,000,000 bits
How do you convert 1 mega byte into kilo byte?
1 megabyte is 1000 kilobytes
How may GB to 220.5 MB?
8 bits - 1 byte 1024 Bytes - 1 Kilo Byte 1024 Kilo Bytes - 1 Mega Byte 1024 Mega Bytes - 1 Giga Bytes
How many mega bytes are in one giga byte?
1024 mb = 1 gb
How many mega pixels are there in a mega byte?
they are two completely different things
How many MB are in a K?
1000 kilo bytes = 1 mega byte. Remember kilo means thousand,mega means million
How much is 1TB in MB?
The Terabyte is 1024 gigabyte and the gigabyte is 1024 megabytes, therefore a Terabyte is 1024 squared megabytes, this gives 1048576 megabytes in a single terabyte. This is not to be confused with terabit (1000000megabits)
How much of mega byte equal to giga byte?
1024 MB equal to 1 GB
How many bytes are there in one mega byte?
1000,000
How many mega bytes equal 1 giga byte?
1024 megabytes = 1 gigabyte 1024 kilobytes = 1 megabyte
