The megabyte is a multiple of the unit byte for digital information. The unit prefix mega is a multiplier of 1000000 (106) in the SI units. One megabyte is one million bytes of information.
Megabytes are often used to measure the size of large files. For example, a high resolution JPEG image file might range from one to five megabytes. While CD capacity is measured in megabytes (typically 700 to 800 MB). Internet files are often measured in MBs. For example, a network connection with an eight MBps DTR must reach a web DTR of one megabyte (MB) per second (MBps).
