unit:MegaBYTE

Type
Description

The megabyte is a multiple of the unit byte for digital information equivalent to $$2^{6} bytes$$. Although the prefix mega means $$10^{6}$$, the term megabyte and symbol $$mB$$ have historically been used to refer to $$1024^{2} bytes$$ or $$2^{20} bytes$$. The megabyte is a multiple of the unit byte for digital information storage or transmission with three different values depending on context: 1048576 bytes generally for computer memory; and one million bytes (10, see prefix mega-) generally for computer storage. In rare cases, it is used to mean $$1000 \times 1024 (1024,000) bytes$$. The IEEE Standards Board has confirmed that mega means $$1000,000$$, with exceptions allowed for the base-two meaning.
