Buy the Microsoft Press SQL Server Performance Tuning Technical Reference. Great book with all the formulas. I would look it up for you but I’m lazy. MeanOldDBA

Approximately 6553600 rows 100 MB / 16 Int datatypes = 4 bytes
4 bytes x 4 columns = 16 bytes
100MB = 104857600 Bytes
104857600 / 16 = 6553600
