Convert 487 Megabytes to Bytes
487 Megabyte = 510656512 Byte
Conversion Process
This conversion uses Bit as the base unit. We'll first convert Megabyte to Bit, then convert from Bit to Byte.
Step 1: Convert from Megabyte to Bit
487 × 8388608 = 4085252096
Result: 4085252096 Bit
Step 2: Convert from Bit to Byte
4085252096 × 0.125 = 510656512
Result: 510656512 Byte
Direct Conversion Factor
487 × 1048576 = 510656512
Direct conversion: 487 Megabyte = 510656512 Byte

What is the difference between Megabytes and Bytes?
The main difference between Megabytes and Bytes is that 1 Megabytes equals 1048576 Bytes using the convention. Note that data storage units commonly use two conventions: the decimal (SI) based on powers of 1000 (kB, MB, GB, etc.) and the binary (IEC) based on powers of 1024 (KiB, MiB, GiB, etc.). This calculator uses the convention.
Is Megabytes bigger than Bytes?
Megabyte is larger than Byte. Specifically, using the convention, 1 Megabytes equals 1048576 Bytes.
Why is there confusion between KB and KiB, MB and MiB, etc.?
Historically, "kilobyte" (KB) was often used informally to mean 1024 bytes (2^10). However, the SI prefix "kilo" officially means 1000 (10^3). This led to confusion. The IEC introduced binary prefixes like kibibyte (KiB) specifically for 1024 bytes, mebibyte (MiB) for 1024 KiB, etc., to provide clarity. SI prefixes (kB, MB, GB) are now correctly used for powers of 1000, while IEC prefixes (KiB, MiB, GiB) are used for powers of 1024.
What is the difference between bits and bytes?
A bit is the smallest unit of data, representing a binary value of either 0 or 1. A byte is a common unit of digital information that consists of 8 bits. Data storage capacity is typically measured in bytes and their larger multiples.
