In some fields of computing, mega may sometimes denote 1 048 576 (2 20) information units, for example, a megabyte, a megaword, but denotes 1 000 000 (10 6) units of other quantities, for example, transfer rates: 1 megabit/s = 1 000 000 bit/s. In the case of 3½-inch floppy disks, sizes were given in megabytes of 1000KB or 1 024 000 bytes. [2]
{{convert|100|Mm|mm}} → 100 megametres (1.0 × 10 11 mm) The output of {{convert}} can display multiple converted units, if further unit-codes are specified after the second unnamed parameter (without the pipe separator). Typical combination output units are listed below in column 7. {{convert|55|nmi|km mi}} → 55 nautical miles (102 km; 63 mi)
In this convention, one thousand and twenty-four megabytes (1024 MB) is equal to one gigabyte (1 GB), where 1 GB is 1024 3 bytes (i.e., 1 GiB). Mixed 1 MB = 1 024 000 bytes (= 1000×1024 B) is the definition used to describe the formatted capacity of the 1.44 MB 3.5-inch HD floppy disk , which actually has a capacity of 1 474 560 bytes .
Conversions between units in the metric system are defined by their prefixes (for example, 1 kilogram = 1000 grams, 1 milligram = 0.001 grams) and are thus not listed in this article. Exceptions are made if the unit is commonly known by another name (for example, 1 micron = 10 −6 metre).

The tonne (t) is an SI-compatible unit of mass equal to a megagram (Mg), or 10 3 kg. The unit is in common use for masses above about 10 3 kg and is often used with SI prefixes. For example, a gigagram ( Gg ) or 10 9 g is 10 3 tonnes, commonly called a kilotonne .
