Converting the other way: megabytes to kibibytes
kibibytes = megabytes × 976.5625. So 2.048 megabytes is back to 2,000 kibibytes; one megabyte is 976.5625 kibibytes. See the megabytes to kibibytes table.
Quick estimate in your head
For a rough answer, multiply by about 0.001: 2,000 × 0.001 ≈ 2 mb, against the exact 2.048 mb (2.3% out). Good enough to check that a calculated result is sensible.
Common mistakes
The usual slip is using the factor the wrong way round. A kibibyte is smaller than a megabyte, so the number of megabytes must come out smaller than the number of kibibytes. If your answer goes the other way, divide instead of multiplying.
