There is no such thing as a "mega bite" However.... There are 8 bits in a byte. Mega means 1000. "Megabit" means 1000 bits. "Megabyte" means 1000 bytes. Since there are 8 bits in a byte, there are 125 bytes that make up 1000 bits (1000 bits divided by 8 bytes per bit = 125) A megabyte = 1000 bytes. Therefore there would be 8,000 bits in a megabyte. (8 bits per byte).
based on 1000 KB = 1 MB and so on based on 1024 KB = 1 MB and so on
4 Nibbles = 1 Bit 4 Nibbles = 1 Bit
8 Bits = 1 Byte 8 Bits = 1 Byte
1,000 Bytes = 1 KB 1024 Bytes = 1 KB
1,000 KB = 1 MB 1024 KB = 1 MB
1,000 MB = 1 GB 1024 MB = 1 GB
1,000 GB = 1 TB 1024 GB = 1 TB
~and the list goes on~
Don't confuse bits with bytes, ex. 8 Kilobits (Kb) = 1 Kilobyte (KB)
so on with Megabits (Mb) Gigabits (Gb) ...
Answer:
1,000,000 Bytes based on 1000 KB = 1 MB and so on
1,048,576 Bytes based on 1024 KB = 1 MB & 1024 MB = 1 GB, and so on
most people will use 1 MB being 1000 KB, but the reason for 1 MB = 1024 KB was/is for the way computer memory is stored. that's why you see flash drives that are usually
256 MB, 512 MB, 1024 MB (1 GB), 2 GB, 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB, and rarely 32 GB.
that's where it starts, because you keep with the pattern shown:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096 ...
I hope this wasn't too confusing for you, but maybe this will answer future questions & provide a better understanding if you can keep up.
P.S. for future conversions, If you'd like to convert based on 1000 KB = 1 MB, then all you have to do is move the decimal, and if you'd like to convert based on 1024KB = 1 MB, then Google calculator will provide you with the correct answer. You can use google calculator by typing into their searchbar something along the lines of:
KB in MB, but you have to remember to keep the letters capital, otherwise it will confuse it with Kilobits/Gigabits.
Oh, and remember, almost all ISP's (internet Service Providers such as Charter & Qwest) us Megabits per second, not Megabytes per second, so to find out how many Megabytes per second they are advertising, just divide it by 8.
Okay basically here it is broken down, Byte is 1, all forms of memory are formed around a Byte, Kilobyte = 1000 Bytes
Megabyte = 1000 Kilobytes
Gigabyte = 1000 Megabytes = 1,000,000 Kilobytes
Therefore a Gigabyte is much larger than a Megabyte, there is 1 thousand Megabytes in a Gigabyte.
Byte = B
kB = Kilobyte
MB = Megabyte
GB = Gigabyte
A byte is the basic unit for measuring the amount of stored data on a computer.
A meagabyte is 1,024 bytes, though this is often rounded to 1,000 bytes for simplicity.
a giga bite is bigger because there is 1024 megabites in 1 giga bite.=)
One megabytes is 1,048,576 byes, or 1024 kilobytes. Therefore, 5 megabytes is 5120 kilobytes, or 5,242,880 bytes.
A megabyte; it is 1024 kilobytes.
300 mega bites
