Title: How many kilobytes are in a megabyte?
Post by: SteveYoth on March 28, 2007, 03:10:05 AM
This question was in the Beetle Bailey cartoon today, and they gave an answer that I did not expect.  I suspect that the answer in the cartoon was wrong.

one thousand1,000 bites = 1 kilobite1,000,000 bites = 1 megabite1,000,000,000 bites = 1 gigabiteEach is a factor of 1,000 times greater than the previous.

1024.  Some would say 1000, but in the binary way that digital is counted, it's 2 to 10th power.

1024 Kilo Bytes make a megabyte, just as 1024 bytes make a kilo byte.if you do a bit of study into Binary system ull see 2^10 = 1024 (thats 2 to the power 10 is 1024)

a kilobyte is 1024 bytes - not 1000 bytes.  It is 1024 because a kilobyte is based off of binary which (when converted to decimal) doubles for every bit.  A megabyte is 1024 * 1024 or 1048576 bytes.
