NAT2 marks

A disk of size 512 M512 \text{ M} bytes is divided into blocks of 64 K64 \text{ K} bytes. A file is stored in the disk using linked allocation. In linked allocation, each data block reserves 44 bytes to store the pointer to the next data block. The link part of the last data block contains a NULL pointer (also of 44 bytes). Suppose a file of 1 M1 \text{ M} bytes needs to be stored in the disk. Assume, 1 K=2101 \mathrm{~K}=2^{10} and 1M=2201 \mathrm{M}=2^{20}. The amount of space in bytes that will be wasted due to internal fragmentation is __________. (Answer in integer)
