officially, 1 megabyte (MB) is 1024 kilobyte (KB), but usually they calculate 1000 nowadays - although this may seem like a small difference, it accumulates quite rapidly.
Official count:
1 GB = 1024 MB
1 MB = 1024 KB
1 KB = 1024 bytes
Let's say you've got a 100 GB harddisk
officially, that's 1024 x 1024 x 1024 = 1,073,741,824 bytes
marketing makes it 1000 x 1000 x 1000 = 1,000,000,000 bytes
a difference of 73,741,824 bytes, about 7%!!!
Gets worse with Terabytes (1 TB = 1024 GB)

1024 Bytes in a Kilobyte
1024 Kilobytes in a Megabyte
1024 Megabytes in a Gigabyte
1024 Gigabytes in a Terabyte
You get the idea...

1024
it's quite misleading, considering kilo is 1000 and mega is 1 million generally, but in regards to bytes it's 1024
remember back in the days....the consoles 8 bit, then 16 bit, then 32 bit etc...when it reaches 1000 it goes to 1024

okedokee...
2 bits in a byte...
1024 bytes in a kilobyte
1,024,000 bytes (1,024×1,000) in a megabyte
1,073,741,824 bytes in a gigabyte
...its all about binary (ie 2 to the power of)
