How the conversion works

The relationship is kB = MB × 1,000. Both units measure data, so the conversion is a fixed factor that never changes.

Megabyte: Decimal: 1,000,000 bytes.

Kilobyte: Decimal: 1,000 bytes.

Common questions

How many kilobytes are in one megabyte?
One megabyte equals 1,000 kilobytes. kB = MB × 1,000.
How do you convert megabytes to kilobytes?
Use kB = MB × 1,000. So 10 MB is 10,000 kB.
How many megabytes are in one kilobyte?
One kilobyte equals 0.001 megabytes, which is the reverse of the conversion above.
Is there more than one kind of megabyte?
Decimal: 1,000,000 bytes. Decimal: 1,000 bytes.
