Hello,
the smallest data value is the bit. one byte is worth 8 bits. But, beware, if in 99% of cases, especially when not specified, one byte is worth 8 bits, byte does not necessarily mean octet, one byte can be worth 7 bits.
Next, you need to know the method of multiples used, whether it's x1000 or x2¹⁰, which is equal to 1024.
If it's x1000: then in 99% of cases, 1 MB = 1 MB = 1000000 B, so 1 million bytes or 1 million octets.
If it's x2¹⁰: then we have 1 MB = 1 O x 2¹⁰ (K) x 2¹⁰ (M) or 1 O x 2²⁰ = 1 048 576 B.

Hello,
So you need to be very careful about what you write... a bit or a byte, it's not the same, even if they are pronounced the same...
A BYTE is an Octet or eight bits...
The Miga-Byte doesn't exist.... it's a Mega-Byte which is worth one million bytes
It's up to you to do the calculations according to the original question.
