## How the conversion works

The relationship is MB = kB × 0.001. Both units measure data, so the conversion is a fixed factor that never changes.

> Kilobyte: Decimal: 1,000 bytes.

> Megabyte: Decimal: 1,000,000 bytes.

## Common questions

### How many megabytes are in one kilobyte?

One kilobyte equals 0.001 megabytes. MB = kB × 0.001.

### How do you convert kilobytes to megabytes?

Use MB = kB × 0.001. So 10 kB is 0.01 MB.

### How many kilobytes are in one megabyte?

One megabyte equals 1,000 kilobytes, which is the reverse of the conversion above.

### Is there more than one kind of kilobyte?

Decimal: 1,000 bytes. Decimal: 1,000,000 bytes.
