## 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.
