Depends on how you count.
Strictly speaking a MB or megabyte is 1000 KB (= kilobytes). 1 KB is 1000 bytes. So 4 MB, is 4,000,000 bytes. This way of counting is often used by storage manufacturers.
Softwarewise, a MB usually means a mebibyte, or mega binary byte, sometimes abbreviated as MiB for clarity. 1MiB = 1024 KiB (=kibibytes or kilo binary bytes). 1 KiB = 1024 bytes. So in your case, 4 MB (or more accurately 4 MiB) = 4*1024*1024 bytes = 4,194,304 bytes.
As you know, current computers use binary language (i.e. base 2). 1000 isn't a power of 2, but 1024 is: it is 2 to the 10th power. Hence the preference of choosing 1024 instead of 1000 for software related amounts.
The difference between 4 MB and 4 MiB may seem insignificant, but as the amounts increase, the difference becomes more important. E.g., when a project leader requests 500 GB of diskspace (i.e. expecting 500 GiB or 536,870,912,000 bytes), and you buy 500 GB worth of storage (i.e. 500,000,000,000 bytes) , you'll be 36,870,912,000 bytes or a little over 34 GiB short.
If your not sure whether the person uses the decimal (1000) or the digital (1024) MB, simply ask. Better safe than sorry.

How many Mega-bytes are in a RAM?
3 Gigabytes
How many bytes can be stored in a 300GB Hard Drive?
There are 1024 Megabytes (MB) in a GigaByte (GB), and then 1024 Kilobytes(KB) in a Megabyte, and then 1024 Bytes in a Kilobyte. So in a 300GB Hard Drive, there are 300 times 1024 times 1024 times 1024 Bytes, which equals 322122547200 Bytes.
How much is 3 gig in numbers?
Gig is short for gigabyte. The giga prefix means one billion. Thus 3 gigs is 3 billion bytes. A megabyte is one million bytes. Thus 3 gigabytes equals 3000 megabytes.
How many MB are in 3.99 gb?
In 1 gigabyte there are 1024 mega bytes . In 1 megabyte there are 1024 kilo bytes .3 gigabyte equals to 3 time 1024 mega bytes that is (3x1024) mega bytes.
How much is (((13x3)-3)3)?
3 GB = 3*1024*1024*1024 Bytes 3 GB = 3*1024*1024 Kilo Bytes 3 GB = 3*1024 Mega Bytes
1 GB equals how much time on your computer?
GB, or gigabyte, is not a unit of time, but of capacity. A gigabyte is one billion bytes, according to the SI standard; or 1024^3 = 1,073,741,824 bytes, by the computing standard, where you go by powers of 2.
How many mega bytes equal one giga byte?
Computer memory comes in multiples of 2. The nearest to 1,000 that we can get with powers of 2 is 1,024..... 210... 1,024 bytes = 1 kilobyte 1,024 kilobytes = 1 megabyte 1,024 megabytes = 1 gigabyte so, 3 gigabytes = 3,072 megabytes.
How many bytes does a DVD hold?
when we're talking about DVD movies thinking in terms of how many bytes is pretty rediculous. a very short DVD quality movie will be measured at least in tens of mega-bytes (Mb). one megabyte is equal to 1,048,576 bytes. so, if you were, for instance, thinking in terms of how many bytes there were in a full-length DVD quality feature film then you would be talking about gigabytes(Gb). one Gb is equal to 1,073,741,824 bytes. you need between 1 and 3 gigs of space for a whole DVD worth of information.
How many MB make 3.15 GB?
That depends on what exactly you mean by "3gb". Because a uncapitalized "b" actually stands for bit, while a capital "B" stands for byte. In case you mean 3 gigabit (formal notation: 3 Gb or 3 Gbit): 1 gigabit equals 1,000,000,000 bits, times 3 equals 3,000,000,000 bit, divided by 8 equals 375,000,000 bytes (as 8 bits equal 1 byte). 375,000,000 equals 375 MB (megabytes). In case you actually mean 3 gigabyte (3GB), then answer is quite simple. 3 gigabytes equal 3 times 1024 megabytes: 3072 MB.
How much does 3 gigabytes represent?
3 billion bytes or 24 billion bits.

How many bytes to a gigabyte?
8 bits = 1 byte, 1024 bytes = 1 Kilobyte, 1024 kilobytes = 1 megabyte, 1024 megabytes = 1 gigabyte. Or as most humans look at it 1billion bytes equals a gigabyte. 1024 gigabytes = 1 terabyte 1024 terabytes = 1 petabyte and 1024 petabytes = 1 exabyte.
