The prefix mega usually means million, which would put the translation of 2 megabyte to equal 2 million bytes. However, mega is often "misused" in computer science and generally translate according to 1 megabyte = 1024 kilobyte. Kilo itself -- which actually means thousand -- is "misused" in the same manner, where 1 kilobyte = 1024 bytes.

As of this, 1 megabyte = 1024 × 1024 bytes = 1048576 bytes.
