How many Kilobytes are in 1 Megabyte?

1 Byte = 8 Bit

1 Megabyte = 1,048,576 Bytes or 1,024 Kilobytes

In order to answer the question correctly, you have to remember it anyway. The knowledge is no use for ordinary people but every programmer remembers this data by heart!

The fact is that there are 1000 kilobytes in a megabyte in decimal and 1024 in binary. Both a 100 and 1024 should be right here

Iain Bradley

It's 1000 !

Wrong. 1 megabyte is equal to 1000 kilobytes. The binary system is not relevant in this regard.

So the screen moved and as a result got it correct- I was going for the wrong answer!!!

Christopher J Voce

1000 I put, which I believe is correct, the expert quiz is hard enough guys come on !

Jhan Schmitz

The question did not say binary units, so 1000 and 1024 are both correct answers

Richard D. Boyle

Why should we assume binary? Question appears designed to be missed by the vast majority...and it was.

Alec Boreham

The question needs to be more specific, DECIMAL or BINARY

1 Megabyte is equal to 1000 kilobytes (decimal). 1 MB = 103 KB in base 10 (SI). 1 Megabyte is equal to 1024 kilobytes (binary).

Don Storjord, why not do a little research and double check before making ridiculous comments. Mark Twain: Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt.
