Conversion of different Units

If we want to convert the lower unit into upper

unit then we have to apply the rule of division, other wise we have to apply the rule of multiplication. Summary

Lower Unit To Upper Unit (Division) Upper Unit to Lower Unit (Multiplication)

Conversion Examples
Example No. 1: How many mega bytes (MB) are there in 2048 kilo Bytes (KB)?

Solution:
2048 KB = ? MB 2048 / 1024 = 2 MB

Conversion Examples
Example No. 2: How many kilo bytes are there in 2 mega bytes?

Solution: 2 MB = ? KB 2 X 1024 = 2048 KB
