I know sizes: B, KB, MB,.. but there is no M.

File Uploads upload_max_filesize Maximum allowed size for uploaded files. 200M

So what is the real size of 200M?
I heard and read from the internet, the actual size is 2MB?
Lets say I want SET the upload_max_filesize to 15MB.

15728640 B
15360 kb
 
Considering that there is no file size abbreviated "M" - that I know of - I would assume that it is referring to megabytes.
Of course, it may really mean 2MB, in the same way that 5 Calories is actually 5000 calories. However, I don't think it's like that, and Wikipedia says that "M" is the abbreviation for "mega-", and nothing else that refers to size (other than meter).

Hope this helps you!
