How many kilobytes are in a megabyte (decimal)?

There are 1,000 kilobytes in 1 decimal megabyte (MB).

Detailed answer

Decimal megabyte: 1 MB = 10⁶ bytes and 1 kB = 10³ bytes, so 1 MB = 1,000 kB. Multiply MB by 1,000 for kB; divide kB by 1,000 for MB.

Relationship context

File sizes and download totals often use decimal MB while memory can be quoted in MiB; the factors differ by about 2.4% per step.
