Frequently Asked Questions
-
What exactly is 'Zip 100' as a data unit?
-
"Zip 100" is an informal or product-related label associated with ZIP archives, not a standard data measurement. Its meaning depends on context, often linked to an archive related to the number 100.
-
How does a megabyte (10^6 bytes) differ from a mebibyte?
-
A megabyte (10^6 bytes) is based on decimal SI units equal to 1,000,000 bytes, while a mebibyte (MiB) uses binary units equal to 1,048,576 bytes.
-
Why should I convert Zip 100 to megabytes?
-
Converting Zip 100 to megabytes provides a standardized, widely recognized unit to better understand and report file sizes labeled informally as Zip 100.
