The formula of converting the Kilobyte (kB) to Megabyte (MB) is represented as follows :

MB = kB ÷ 1000

Now let us apply the above formula and see how to manually convert Kilobyte (kB) to Megabyte (MB). We can further simplify the formula to ease the calculation.

FORMULA

Megabytes = Kilobytes ÷ 1000

STEP 1

Megabytes = Kilobytes x (1 ÷ 1000)

STEP 2

Megabytes = Kilobytes x 0.001

If we apply the above Formula and steps, conversion from 500 Kilobyte (kB) to Megabyte (MB) will be processed as below.

  1. = 500 ÷ 1000
  2. = 500 x (1 ÷ 1000)
  3. = 500 x 0.001
  4. = 0.5
  5. i.e. 500 kB is equal to 0.5 MB.

Note : Result rounded off to 40 decimal positions.

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