Bytes to Megabytes conversion

UnitResult
Note: Above conversion to MB is base 10 decimal unit. If you want to use base 2 (binary unit) use Bytes to Mebibytes (B to MiB) (which results to 9.5367431640625e-7 MiB). See the difference between decimal (Metric) and binary prefixes

How to convert Bytes to Megabytes

1 Byte (B) is equal to 1×10^-6 Megabytes (MB). Conversely, 1 Megabyte (MB) is equal to 1×10^6 Bytes (B). The prefix Mega refers to decimal(base 10) metric prefix. Sometimes, people use binary(base 2) definitions. Technically, in binary, it should be Mebibyte (MiB) which is 1024^2 or 2^20. In binary (base 2) definition, 1 Byte (B) is equal to 9.53674316×10^-7 Mebibyte (MiB).

See below section for step by step unit conversion with formulas and explanations. Please refer to the table below for a list of all the Megabytes to other unit conversions.

What is a Byte?

Byte is used to measure unit of digital information. In general, byte is equivalent to 8 bits in computers. the symbol for byte is BB (capital b) as Specified in IEC, IEEE and Metric Interchange Format.

For more info take a look at Bits and Bytes definition from Stanford

What is a Megabyte?

Megabyte, MBMB, is a unit of digital information. Mega is used as a unit prefix in metrics system. It represent a numerical value 10610^6 or 1,000,0001,000,000. List of SI prefix can be found on Wikipidia.

There are two common ways unit of information is represented. One is in decimal (base 10) form and the other is in power of 2 (binary). MegabyteMegabyte is referring to the base 10 format, unlike MebibitMebibit which is referring to base 2 format.
