A byte is 8 bits. A megapixel is 1,048,576 bits. 8/1,048,576 is 0.00000762939 megapixels per byte. More likely, your question wanted to know how many bytes, on disk, to store a megapixel. That depends on the jpeg compression. A very busy picture with lots of different colors and lots of detail requires a lot more than a picture of the moon on a dark night. I find an 800 x 600 jpeg requires 30K to 120K on the disk.
