Megahertz is a unit of measurement. It describes the number of cycles it can complete per unit time. 1 completed cycle (usually, if not always) per cycle is a hertz. Mega, indicates Million, therefore Megahertz is one million cycles per one second

In this case you are probably talking about a processor or RAM. It means that those devices are able to calculate, or make mathematical decisions a least one million times per second.

In today's computers, most processors are rated as "Giga"hertz, which means Billions.
