Is it possible to increase the megabytes on a floppy disk so that it can store a 1863 kilobyte file?

There are various ways to "overformat" a floppy disk so that it can hold more than its rated capacity. However, the maximum is about 1.72 MB, which would be too small for your file without compressing it in another format (like a zip file). Overformatted disks also generally don't work on newer operating systems (2000/XP/Vista).

How many characters can an average floppy disk hold?
A standard floppy disk (those still found today) is 1.44MB in size. There's 1024 kilobytes in a megabyte, and 1024 bytes in a kilobyte. If the size was exact usable space, it would be 1.44 * 1024 * 1024, which is 1509949 bytes. Since it's not the usable size, the USABLE size of a floppy is 1440 * 1024, or 1474560 bytes. Each ASCII character is one byte, so a floppy can hold many characters.
