Strictly speaking (in computer terms) 1,024. However, some manufacturers have popularized using 1,000, especially when rating hard drives, mainly because it makes their drives seem bigger. For instance: 250,000,000,000 bytes using 1024 bytes per K, 1024K per meg and 1024 megs per gig (the correct method) = 233 gigs. 250,000,000,000 bytes using 1000 bytes per K, 1000K per meg and 1000 megs per gig (the inflated method) = 250 gigs. So, the answer kind of depends on the specific situation. If you're a programmer writing code, the answer is 1024. If you are shopping for a hard drive, watch out! the answer may well be 1000 - read the fine print!

There's no such unit as MG.

However if you mean MB, then there are 1024 KB's in 1 MB.
