Question: How many bytes in a megabyte?

There are 1,000,000 bytes in 1 megabyte

Note: In the past computers only used base 2 (binary) for file sizes. However, in December of 1998, the IEC introduced a new system that uses the metric system, so sizes that use prefixes like 'kilo' are equal to 1,000 and not 1,024.
