Its appx equal to 100mb i guess.
1000kbx1=1000kb=1mb
1000kbx10=10000kb=10mb
1000kbx100=100000kb=100mb

For your question, you'd want to find out megabytes, so you use this:

kB / Bytes (1000) = mB
100,000 / 1000 = 100

Now if you wanted to find mebibytes, which is commonly used for bandwidth, you'd use this:

KiB / Bytes (1024) = MiB
102,400 / 1024 = 100 MiB


I only wish hard drive manufacturers used Gibibytes rather than the the Gigabytes they use now.

actually...

1,024 bytes = 1KB
1,024KB = 1MB
1,024MB = 1GB
1,024GB = 1TB

and so on...

Google it.

and so on... No, you're confusing yourself between binary and metric.

1024 bytes = 1 kibibyte (KiB)
1024 KiB = 1 mebibyte (MiB)

1000 bytes = 1 kilobyte (kB)
1000 kB = 1 megabyte (mB)

Eh?
1 024 bytes = 1 kilobytes
according to google.
Then again, 1024 bytes = 1 kibibyte according to that...
but I'm nearly certain that 1024 bytes = 1KB, 1024KB = 1MB...right?

Or not, had it explained. The KiB was defined in 1998 as 1024, since kilo is a SI unit and calling it 1024 was wrong.
