What do KB and MB have in common?

Answer 1

The B comes from Byte, a unit for computer memory. K is for kilo = meaning a thousand of whatever it is. M is for mega, a million of whatever it is.

KB = one thousand memory units, MB = one million memory units

Answer 2

These are computer measurements of the size of a folder, file, hard drive, etc.

• A bit is a binary digit.
• A byte is 8 bits.
• A kilobyte (kB) is 1,000 bytes.
• A megabyte (MB) is 1,000,000 bytes.

It also makes a difference if the "B" is in capital or small letters.

A capitalized B means bytes, a small b means bits, so MB = megabytes and Mb = megabits.

Answer 3

They are both made up of bytes. KB's have 1000 bytes in them, MB's have 1000 KB's.

Answer 4

Km is usually the abbreviation for "kilometer." It refers to a measurement of distance. Mb refers usually to "megabyte" and it is a measurement of information/data size in computer science.

Answer 5

A KB is either 1/1000 or 1/1024 of a MB, depending on the exact definition used.

Answer 6

1 MB = 1024 KB, so 1KB = about 0.001 MB
