How do you convert Megabytes to Kilobytes

You know that the basic unit of digital information is the byte, which is equal to eight binary digits, or 8 bits. The byte is one of the smallest units of data storage in computer technology. One kilobyte (KB) is equal to 1,024 bytes, one megabyte (MB) is 1,024 kilobytes, one gigabyte (GB) is equivalent to 1,024 megabytes, and finally, one terabyte (TB) is exactly 1,024 gigabytes in the binary number system.

As you can see there are 1,048,576 bytes in one megabyte. And 1 Kilobyte consists of 1,024 bytes. If you divide 1,048,576 bytes by 1,024 bytes, you will get 1,024 kilobytes. That means one megabyte is equal to 1,024 kilobytes in a computer system.

If we are talking about the decimal system, then we say that one Megabyte is equal to 1,000,000 bytes, and there are 1,000 bytes in a kilobyte. So if we divide 1,000,000 bytes by 1,000 bytes, we will get 1000 kilobytes. So that means one megabyte is equal to 1000 kilobytes. In other words, 1 MB is one thousand times bigger than 1 KB. 

You can use our online and user-friendly tool to convert megabytes to bytes, kilobytes, gigabytes, and terabytes for both base 10 (decimal) and base 2 (binary).
