Understanding Megabytes and Bytes

A byte is the basic unit of digital information storage, typically representing a single character. A megabyte (MB) is a larger unit equal to approximately one million bytes (decimal system) or 1,048,576 bytes (binary system).

Pro Tip

For computer memory (RAM) and file sizes in some systems, use the binary standard. For hard drive capacities and data transfer rates, the decimal standard is typically used.
