How many KB in a MB????

[NaomiCole2]

I'm trying to save a powerpoint presentation to a floppy disk and am being
told that I don't have enough space on the disk. It's brand new and
apparently holds 1.44Mb and this stupid presentation of mine is 46,571Kb.

I'm sure I just don't have enough space but I'm surprised it won't fit. Is
it just me being stupid??!!

[wayne]

it should fit try saving the presentation as an older version or do a select
all and copy ad paste to a new presentation. Or try doing a save as

That's 46MB (roughly), way more than fits on your 1.44MB floppy.

You need about 32 more floppies ;-)

You're as big a moron as the OP! How the hell can a 46MB file fit on a
1.44MB (1.38MB after formatting) disk?! You must have one helluva
compression tool there!

I don't know how many Kb there were in a MB, but even if you thought it was
10,000, it *STILL* wouldn't fit on a floppy!

If you have a CDR/CD-RW drive, burn it to a CD, which stores about 700 MB.

Go to Sam's Club or Walmart & spend ~$30 for a 128 Megabyte
USB Thumb/Pen drive. Re-usable, very handy.

There are 1024KB in a MB There are 1,024,576 Bytes in 1024KB

[Dingo]

Namomi. 1000 bytes in a kilobyte. 1000 kilobytes in a megabyte. 1000
megabytes in a Gigabyte. (I think):-) Dingo

That is 46,571 kilobits or 46.571 Megabits or 5.82 Megabytes.
Are you sure it's a small b? In any case it still won't fit on a single
floppy disk.

Yes.


> There are 1,024,576 Bytes in 1024KB


But this isn't correct. There are 1024 bytes in a kilobyte, so
one megabyte is 1024 x 1024, or 1,048,576 bytes.

Sorry, but no. Change all those 1000s to 1024, and you'd be
correct.

There are 1024 Kilobytes in a Megabyte. Your presentation is over
46 Mb in size. How could you possibly be expecting it to fit onto a
1.44 Mb diskette?

Hey Wayne, if it is 46 000 kb's then it's actually 46 megabytes big,
therefore it will not fit on a floppy which can only hold 1400 kilobytes
or 1.4 mbytes, you will need to put it on a CD or DVD or even a Zip
disk. Hope this helps , and dont worry about this Miss Tick's answers,
he/she is an anal oozeout. It has a very same attitude as one other "it"
used to have long time ago, who knows could be the same ooze.
Take are.

[wayne]

sorry missed that can't quite imagine one that big?

to answer the question 1024 but 1000 will work fine due to all sorts of
rounding formatting and cluster size restrictions

for a presentation that size you will need to burn a cd or you could try to
take out any special effects etc.. that you included that make it so big
How many slides are there?

It is 46,571 kilobytes, not kilobits.

A floppy disk is 1.44 Mb, but .06 Mb is needed for 'overhead' which leaves
1.38 MB for holding files.

Hal was referring to the standard of expressing bits with "b" and Bytes
with "B". Technically "1.44 Mb" means 1.44 Megabits; "1.44 MB" means
1.44 MegaBytes.

There are 1024 KB in a MB. Your 46,571KB or roughly 45.48MB presentation
will NEVER fit on a 1.44MB floppy. You will need to use a CD, a zip or jazz
drive, or a USB "thumb" drive to store it off of the computer it is on now.

A MB in the context is 1024 KB. So your file is over 45 MB - and would
need 32 floppies or more.

You need a CD burner and put it on a CD

It's not a matter of overhead. This is the megabyte vs million
byte issue rearing its head again. If you define a megabyte as
1,048,576 bytes (1024 X 1024), the diskette is 1.38MB. If you
define it as 1,000,000 byes, the diskette is 1.44 MB.

The unformatted diskette is actually 2MB. The difference between
that and the usable size is where the overhead is.

It is in an unfortunate hybrid position; there are actually 2880
(decimal) sectors of 512 bytes, so it is 1440 K - binary K - which is
neither one nor the other. Out of that you have to take a bit for the
boot sector and root directory, and the capacity ends up as 1.38 M bytes
(fully binary style)
