Megabyte to kilobyte

Reference table

How the conversion works

The input is converted into bit using the source factor and offset, then into kilobyte. This keeps unit definitions consistent across the data storage collection.

Definitions and sources

Factors are maintained in the versioned unit dataset. Output is rounded to your selected significant digits; calculation uses JavaScript double precision.

Accuracy and scope

Decimal prefixes use 1000; binary prefixes use 1024. One byte is eight bits. Very large integers may lose precision in JavaScript.
