About the units
Kilobyte (KB)
A kilobyte (KB) is 1,000 bytes in the SI system that storage makers use. Older software often meant 1,024 bytes, which is now called a kibibyte (KiB).
Megabyte (MB)
A megabyte (MB) is 1,000,000 bytes. Windows shows sizes in binary units but labels them MB, so it reports 1,048,576 bytes as 1 MB.
