Short Answer: 2 Megabytes is equal to 2,048 Kilobytes (2 MB = 2,048 KB)
Detailed Answer -- Bits, Bytes, Kilobytes, and more...
Computers are electronic devices so they view everything as either being ON or OFF. By stringing together groups of on and off messages, computers can store and process information.
The code for ON and OFF are represented numerically as either a one (1) or a zero (0). 1=ON, 0=OFF. Individually, each one or zero is called a Binary Digit or BIT for short.
A collection of 8 BITS (or eight zeros and ones) is equal to 1 BYTE
In human terms, 1 BYTE is equal to one character (a letter, number, space, dash, etc.)
For example, when you type the letter "A" your computer sees "01000001" and if you type the letter "a" in lowercase it sees "01100001." Each zero and one by itself is a BIT; each collection of eight BITS makes up one BYTE.
1 BIT = 1 BINARY DIGIT (either a 0 or a 1)
1 BYTE = 1 CHARACTER
1,024 BYTES = 1 KILOBYTE (KB) (one typewritten page is about 2 KB)
1,024 KILOBYTES = 1 MEGABYTE (MB) (a complete novel is around 2 MB)
1,024 MEGABYTES = 1 GIGABYTE (GB) (a stack of books 60 feet high would fit in 2 GB)
1,024 GIGABYTES = 1 TERABYTE (TB) (all the books in a major research library = 2 TB)
1,024 TERABYTES = 1 PETABYTE (PB) (every book in every US library = 2 PB)
1,024 PETABYTES = 1 EXABYTE (all the words ever spoken by humans = 5 EB)
Kilo K = 1,024
Mega M = 1,048,576
Giga G = 1,073,741,824
Tera T = 1,099,511,627,776
Peta P = 1,125,899,906,842,624
Exa E = 1,152,921,504,606,846,976
Zetta Z = 1,180,591,620,717,411,303,424
Yotta Y = 1,208,925,819,614,629,174,706,176
Less then 1. A megabyte, MB, is equal to 1024 kilobytes, kb.
1 kb is equal to 1024 bytes.
1 byte equals 8 bits.
I know, weird. Worse is that hard drive makers don't use this, even though EVERY mainstream OS does. It will say something like 80gb, but formats to much lower, cause by 80gb they mean 80000 mb. They think it is easier for understand that way.
You want to connect two network that are using different protocol suites what device i use?
Translational Bridge
If you are wondering how many MB's equal to 512KB's, you should divide the amount of KB's with 1000. So the answer is 512/1000=0,512 MB.
I hope I could help.
How many MB are in a 2 hour movie?
The amount of space a movie occupies depends greatly on what codec was used to encode it, and home much quality was preserved in the process. A typical two hour movie could range anywhere from 200 MB (encoded in MP4) to 50 GB (hi def Blu-Ray rip).
Explain about CPU and its parts?
Cpu has two basic parts CU Control Unit ALU Arithmetic-Logic Unit control unit works for making decisions,testing results etc ALU performs calculation like Arithmetic (addition,subtraction,multiplication,division) Logical (AND,OR, NOT)
Difference between central devices and peripheral devices?
A peripheral device, more commonly referred to as a peripheral, is a "device attached to a host computer behind the chipset whose primary functionality is dependent upon the host...".
Thus, a peripheral is any device you attach to your computer which is not central to your computer's standard operation. Printers, scanners, game controllers, and security dongles are all examples of peripherals.
This definition can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peripherals
The term "hardware device," however, seems a redundant phrasing, since any "device" by definition would be hardware.
What is a specific set of instructions used to accomplish a task?
The ones selected by the computer programmer (either directly if writing in assembly language or indirectly via a compiler if writing in a high level language) specifically to perform the desired task. It is called either a program, subprogram, procedure, function, etc. depending on the scope of the task being performed.
How do you represent character by bytes?
Characters are first given an internationally agreed decimal value. The decimal value is converted to binary by the computer. For example... the decimal value for the letter A is 65... this converts to binary as 1000001
How many bytes of data can be stored in 1.44 MB floppy?
If kB = 1000 bytes, and a "1.44 MB" disk actually holds 1.44 × 1024 × 1000 = 1,474,560 bytes, then 983 files can fit.
What is the default subnet mask for the IP address 176.43.52.18?
255.0.0.0 for a class A
correct. but why? well, 10.10.0.0 is a class a network and all class "a" networks use a default subnet mask of 255.0.0.0. the range of class "a" networks is 1-126.
How many kilobytes in 120 gigabytes?
1000 KB = 1 MB = 0 GB
100000 KB = 100 MB = 0 GB
1,000,000 KB = 1000 MB = 1 GB
10,000,000 KB = 10000 MB = 10 GB
100,000,000 KB = 100000 MB = 100 GB
20,000,000 KB = 20,000 MB = 20 GB
Answer is: 120,000,000 KB = 120 GB (120 Million KB).
How many songs fit on 256 gigabytes?
Generally, it depends on how big the file of your music is. The bigger the music file, the less music files can be fit inside. The smaller the music files, the more music files can be fit inside the 256 mb mp3 player. To fit in more songs, I would suggest compressing the music files.
Where is the CPU located in the computer?
Most motherboards are the same in this regard. Your CPU should be less than 2" away from the back panel of your motherboard (Where your keyboard, mouse, USB devices, etc plug into) inside of your case. It will be covered by a heatsink (Metal fins, square aluminium box with fins, etc) and usually a fan. This shouldn't be removed unless you have thermal grease to reapply to your CPU, or if you're removing the CPU permanently.
There are not 1000megabytes in a gigabyte. 1gigabyte=1024megabytes=1048576kilobytes=1073741824bytes.
What companies use both intranets and extranets?
Companies which need to allow access to outside parties, such as vendors.
50 is the incorrect answer as stated above. 500,000 kb = 0.47684 gb
That's approximately 1/2 of a gigabyte.
