Kb to Mb

Kb to Mb

The conversion of kilobytes (kb) to megabytes (Mb) involves two data storage metrics used in the world of information and technology. A megabyte is 1000 times greater than a kilobyte.

How many megabytes are in a kilobyte?

1 Kilobyte = 0.001 megabytes (decimal). 1 KB = 10^-3 MB in base 10 (SI).

This means that there are 0.001 megabytes in a kilobyte in the decimal system.

1 Kilobyte = 0.0009765625 megabytes (binary). 1 KB = 2^-10 MB in base 2.

This means that there are 0.0009765625 megabytes in one kilobyte in the binary system.

Kilobytes

A kilobyte is a unit of measurement of digital information abbreviated as “Kb”. One kilobyte is equal to 1000 bytes.

Kilobyte in SI and base 10 (decimal)

1 Kilobyte = 1000¹ bytes

1 Kilobyte = 1000 bytes

Kilobyte in base 2 (binary)

1 Kilobyte = 2¹⁰ bytes

1 Kilobyte = 1024¹ bytes

1 Kilobyte = 1024 bytes 

Megabyte

A megabyte is a unit of stored or transferred digital information that is used widely in the field of information and technology. It is used to represent the size of a JPEG image or an MP3 file.

Megabyte in SI and base 10 (decimal)

1 Megabyte = 1000² bytes

1 Megabyte = 1,000,000 bytes

Megabyte in base 2 (binary)

1 Megabyte = 2²⁰ bytes

1 Megabyte = 1024² bytes

1 Megabyte = 1,048,576 bytes 

How to convert kilobytes to megabytes in SI

1 Kilobyte = 1000¹ bytes

Since 1MB = 1000² bytes it means that 1 byte = 1000^-2 MB

Therefore;

1 Kilobyte = 1000¹ x 1000^-2 MB

1 Kilobyte = 1000^-1 MB

1 Kilobyte = 0.001 Megabytes

How to convert kilobytes to megabytes in base 2

1 Kilobyte = 2¹⁰ bytes

1 Kilobyte = 1024¹ bytes

1 byte = 1024^-2 MB

1 Kilobyte = 1024¹ x 1024^-2 MB

1 Kilobyte = 1024^-1 MB

1 Kilobyte = 2^-10 Megabytes

1 Kilobyte = 0.0009765625 Megabytes
