Megabytes
The megabyte is an SI-multiple of the unit byte for digital information storage or transmission and is equal to 106 (1000000) bytes. However, due to historical usage in computer-related fields it is still often used to represent 220 (1024×1024 or 1048576) bytes. In rare cases, it is used to mean 1000×1024 (1024000) bytes. It is commonly abbreviated as Mbyte or MB (compare Mb, for the megabit).
