1024 * 1024 - this many bytes is an mibibyte (MiB).
A megabyte like a megameter is 10^6 bytes.
We all frequently say megabyte meaning a mibibyte. Like wise a kilobyte != kibibyte
| Unit | Abbreviation | Size in Bytes |
|---|---|---|
| Kibibyte | KiB | 1,024 |
| Mebibyte | MiB | 1,048,576 |
| Gibibyte | GiB | 1,073,741,824 |
| Kilobyte | KB | 1,000 |
| Megabyte | MB | 1,000,000 |
| Gigabyte | GB | 1,000,000,000 |
Network speeds are measured in Mbps - that is mega bits per second - that is 1,000,000 bits per second.
