Explanation

In the metric system and scientific notation, 'mega' is the SI prefix for 10^6 or one million (1,000,000). Common examples: megabyte (MB) = 1 million bytes, megahertz (MHz) = 1 million hertz. Kilo is 10^3, giga is 10^9, and tera is 10^12. This is a standard SI prefix convention used in science and engineering.
