Help!

I realize I was a journalism, not a math major, but I thought this was fairly simple. My understanding is that basically, 1,000 kilobytes is one megabyte. I've had an email with scanned doc attachment bounced back to me because it exceeded 30 MB. The attachment was 15,527 KB, which I understood would convert to 15.5 MG. What am I missing here?

One megabyte is 1024 Kilobytes.

This means you're actually at 15.8 MB.

Do you need help compressing/shrinking the file? TinyPdf is pretty good if your document is a PDF.

Thanks. I discovered my problem: I sent two attachments in the same email, ratcheting it up to over 30 MB.
