One Megabyte (MB) is equal to 1,000,000 Bytes. It is 1000^2 or 10^6 Bytes.

1 MB = 1 x 1000 x 1000 = 1,000,000 Bytes

Whereas , there are 1,000,000,000 Bytes in 1 Gigabytes, calculated as 1000^3 or 10^9 Byes.

1 GB = 1 x 1000 x 1000 x 1000 = 1,000,000,000 Bytes

Therefore, value of 1 GB in MB is calculated as..

1 GB = ( 1 x 1000 x 1000 ) x 1000 = 1 MB x 1000 = 1000 MB

From the above, we can convert Megabytes to Gigabytes by dividing by 1000.

GB = MB / 1000

And similarly convert Gigabytes to Megabytes by multiplying with 1000.

MB = GB * 1000
