A 4.0 megapixel camera has files that are roughly 0.5 MB
A 10 megapixel camera, at best resolution, has files that are roughly 4.5 MB.
As you can see, that doesn't really scale - and indeed, there is no mathematical conversion between megapixels and file size. It all depends on the specific camera you're using, and even on the user-settings you've dialed in.
If you do it the other way around, a 100k picture should have enough resolution to print at 6x4 inches, but it would fall completely apart if you tried to print it at 8x10 inches.
(I hate it when I jot down an answer that might actually confuse people.)

I think you want to compare 100k and 1M
1k = 1024
100k 1024000
1M = 1000k
