500,000 B ≈ 0.48 MB

Why is 1 MB equal to 1,048,576 bytes and not 1,000,000?

In computing, data is stored in binary (base-2), and each step of the scale is 1,024 times the previous one: 1 MB = 2^20 bytes = 1,048,576 bytes. This binary convention is used by operating systems and programming languages for memory and file sizes. The SI-based definition (1 MB = 1,000,000 bytes) is used on drive packaging and in storage marketing.
