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

MB = kB / 1000

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

FORMULA

Megabyte = Kilobyte / 1000

STEP 1

Megabyte = Kilobyte x (1 / 1000)

STEP 2

Megabyte = Kilobyte x 0.001

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

  1. = 10 / 1000
  2. = 10 x (1 / 1000)
  3. = 10 x 0.001
  4. = 0.01
  5. i.e. 10 kB is equal to 0.01 MB.

(Result rounded off to 40 decimal positions.)

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