The formula
MB = kB × 0.001
Worked through with a real value: 10 kilobytes = 0.01 megabytes.
Going the other way: kB = MB × 1000, so 1 megabyte = 1000 kilobytes.
What each unit is
- kilobyte kB
- A thousand bytes in the decimal standard. Drive manufacturers use decimal kilobytes, but Windows reports storage in binary kibibytes — this discrepancy is why your drive shows less space than advertised.
- megabyte MB
- A million bytes in the decimal standard. Photos, small videos and document files are typically measured in megabytes.
Where these come from
- 1 kilobyte = 1000 bytes
- 1 megabyte = 1000000 bytes
Every other number on this page is computed from those, and each category is pinned to conversions worked out by hand from the units' primary definitions before it ships.
