B to MB - Conversion Formula and Steps

Byte and Megabyte are units of digital information used to measure storage capacity and data transfer rate. Byte is one of the very basic digital unit where as Megabyte is a decimal unit. One Byte is equal to 8 bits. One Megabyte is equal to 1000^2 bytes. There are 1,000,000 Bytes in one Megabyte. - view the difference between both units

The formula of converting the Byte to Megabyte is represented as follows :

MB = Byte / 10002

Now let us apply the above formula and, write down the steps to convert from Byte (B) to Megabyte (MB). This way, we can try to simplify and reduce to an easy to apply formula.

FORMULA

Megabyte = Byte / 10002

STEP 1

Megabyte = Byte / (1000x1000)

STEP 2

Megabyte = Byte / 1000000

STEP 3

Megabyte = Byte x (1 / 1000000)

STEP 4

Megabyte = Byte x 0.000001

Example : If we apply the above Formula and steps, conversion from 10 Byte to MB, will be processed as below.

  1. = 10 / 10002
  2. = 10 / (1000x1000)
  3. = 10 / 1000000
  4. = 10 x (1 / 1000000)
  5. = 10 x 0.000001
  6. = 0.00001
  7. i.e. 10 Byte is equal to 0.00001 MB.

(Result rounded off to 40 decimal positions.)

You can use above formula and steps to convert Byte to Megabyte using any of the programming language such as Java, Python or Powershell.
