What are megabytes and kibibytes?
- Megabyte (MB)
- Exactly one million bytes. A file manager showing a smaller number for the same file is counting in mebibytes.
- Kibibyte (KiB)
- Exactly 1,024 bytes — two to the tenth. The binary prefix, standardised by IEC in 1998 precisely to end the argument about what a kilobyte means.
