k=means thosand
m=million
so 1k =1000
so 1k*1000= 1million , 1,000,000mb
1kb is really equal to 1024bytes
and 1mb is the same 1024k

These are actually two different measures.
One is kilobips (used for data transmission) and the other megabytes (used for data storage).
The ps at the end of kbps means "per second" Fofor the conversion, we have to drop this, otherwise we are comparing speed versus volume.
a bip, as in kilobips is 1024 bips
However bips are not exactly exquivalent to *bits*
A it takes 9 bips to make a byte of data (it takes only 8 bits to make a byte though)
So 1/8 th of the bips are used to control the data.
So it takes 1/8th more of bips to make a byte, ok kilobite or even megabyte.
so 1024 * 1/8 = 128
and 1024 +128 = 1152
So it takes 1152 kbips to be the equivament of a kilobyte
and 1152 * 1024 = 1179648
So you need 1179648 bips to equal one megabyte of data.

One kilobit per second (Kbps) equals 1000 bits per second (bps). Kbps is also written as “kbps” that carries the same meaning. Likewise, one megabit per second (Mbps) equals one million bps and one Gigabit equals one billion bps.
Network performance is best measured in bps, but sometimes numbers are given in bytes per second (Bps). Then, one KBps equals one kilobyte per second, one MBps equals one megabyte per second, and GBps equals one gigabyte per second. Many times people write KBps, for example, when they mean Kbps, and it is important to be clear on this distinction.
Examples: V.90 modems support data rates up to 56 Kbps. Traditional Ethernet supports data rates up to 10 Mbps and Fast Ethernet 100 Mbps. Gigabit Ethernet supports 1000 Mbps or 1 Gbps.
Also Known As: Kb/sec, Kb/s, Mb/sec, Mb/s, Gb/sec, Gb/s

Since 1000 x 1000 = 1,000,000 then it must be 1000.
