What is larger a megabyte or a kilobyte?

Answer 1

A megabyte is made up 1024 kilobytes. The next step up is gigabytes, the larger the file, the more kilobytes needed. It's the same as centimeters, then meters, then kilometers. It's just a unit of measurement for how much space if required (if designated for storage).

A small graphic may be a dozen kilobytes, a small picture with limited detail could be several hundred kilobytes, detailed pictures will start taking up increasingly more megabytes of space with the more detail they contain. A 3 minute song could be anywhere from 3 to 7 megabytes, etc etc.

Answer 2

Megabyte.

Using the SI international standard:

Megabyte = 1000000 bytes
Kilobyte = 1000 bytes
Byte = 8 bits

Answer 3

The prefix 'Mega' Means 'Millions of'. The prefix 'Kilo' Means 'Thousands of'


So one Megabit is one million bits, and one kilobit is one thousand bits.

Answer 4

They are all a unit of memory used in computing terms. 1024 Bytes = 1 Kilobyte, 1024 Kilobytes = 1 Megabyte, 1024 Megabytes = 1 Gigabyte etc.
