Is kb bigger than MB?
No, a kilobyte (KB) is much smaller than a megabyte (MB). One megabyte contains exactly 1,024 kilobytes
To understand why there are 1,024 kilobytes in a megabyte, let’s break it down:
- A byte is the smallest unit of digital information, made up of 8 bits
- A kilobyte (KB) contains 1,024 bytes
- A megabyte (MB) contains 1,024 kilobytes
This means that one megabyte contains over a thousand times more data than one kilobyte . To put this in perspective:
- A typical text document might be around 50 KB
- A high-quality photo might be around 2 MB
- A short video clip might be several hundred MB
