1,024 Kilobyte (KB) = 1 Megabyte (MB) This is an exact conversion. The difference yo see in the real world is due to cluster size. this makes smaller files waste disk space. this occurs because one cluster only holds one file or a part of it. If you have several files smaller than one cluster every file will use his own cluster (no matter if the file only fills 1/2, 1/5 or even 1/20 of the cluster) This is the reason of higher delays when copying lots of smaller files than copying one larger file even when the total size is equal. In file properties tab (windows) you can illustrate the explanation above seeing the size indicators: 1� Size. 2� Size on disk. Here you can see that one 2,67 KB (2.744 bytes) file fills 4,00 KB on disk (4.096 bytes)due to cluster size (4Kb). Hope this answer was useful.

1 Megabyte = 1024 Kilobytes Transfer rates are done in bits, or millions or thousands of bits. There are 8 bits in a byte. So: 1 Megabyte = 1024 Kilobytes = 1024 *8 = kilobits 8192 Kb(kilobits)

If you have a file that is about 255,000 KB, Grab a calculator and divide 255,000 by 1024 and it will give you the amount of MB, Or you can just aproximate by looking at the file, ie: 255,000 KB = 255 MB
