How many bits are there in a megabyte?

Answer 1

A megabyte (MB) is 1 million (1,000,000) bytes.

Roughly speaking, this means it can hold 1 million characters.

Strictly speaking, a character can take more or less than 8 bits to store, though, depending on the character and the encoding.

Answer 2

There are eight bits in a byte.

There are 1024 bytes in a kilobyte.

There are 1024 kilobytes in a megabyte.

1024 * 1024 * 8 = 8, 388, 608 bits

Answer 3

1 character in plain text uses 1 bite of memory, there are 1,048,576 bites in a megabyte, so you can fit 1,048,576 characters in a megabyte.

• 1 Megabyte
• 0.00098 Gigabyte
• 0 Terabyte

Answer 5
