100 MB to KB
100 megabytes to kilobytes
Decimal (SI) — what most people mean
100 MB = 100000 KB
Binary (IEC): 100 MB = 102400 KB
In the decimal standard (used by storage makers and Google), 1 MB = 1000 of the next unit down, so 100 MB = 100000 KB. Operating systems use the binary standard (×1024), giving 102400 KB.

Frequently asked questions
How many kilobytes is 100 MB?+
100 MB equals 100000 KB using the decimal (SI) standard that drive makers and Google use, or 102400 KB using the binary standard that operating systems use.
Why are there two answers?+
Storage is measured two ways: decimal (1 KB = 1000 of the next unit down) and binary (1 KB = 1024). Hard-drive and SSD capacities are advertised in decimal, while Windows and other systems report sizes in binary — which is why a "1 TB" drive shows as about 931 GB in your operating system.
