How many bytes are in a meagbyte?

Answer 1

The greek prefix "mega" means million. Commonly a megabyte (MB) is therefore taken to be 1,000,000 bytes, or 1,000 kilobytes. Complicating this definition is that traditionally in computing, a kilobyte is 1,024 bytes, and a megabyte therefore 1,024 kilobytes = 1,048,576 bytes. This latter definition is now referred to as a "mebibyte" (MiB) to prevent confusion.
