Detailed explanation-1: -Detailed Solution. One megabyte, or MB, is equivalent to 1024 kilobytes, or KB, in digital units of measurement. About a million bytes make up a megabyte (or about 1000 kilobytes). The megabyte is a multiple of the digital informational unit byte.
Detailed explanation-2: -In this convention, one thousand megabytes (1000 MB) is equal to one gigabyte (1 GB), where 1 GB is one billion bytes. 1 MB = 1048576 bytes (= 10242 B = 220 B) is the definition used by Microsoft Windows in reference to computer memory, such as random-access memory (RAM).
Detailed explanation-3: -The reason why 1 MB=1024 KB instead of 1000 KB is because the binary number system is base 2, while the decimal number system is base 10. In the binary number system, every digit has a value of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 etc. (powers of two).
