[math] Converting bytes to megabytes

Use the computation your users will most likely expect. Do your users care to know how many actual bytes are on a disk or in memory or whatever, or do they only care about usable space? The answer to that question will tell you which calculation makes the most sense.

This isn't a precision question as much as it is a usability question. Provide the calculation that is most useful to your users.
