There are 1000 (103) bytes in one kilobyte (kB). The prefix kilo- comes from Greek, and means 1000 (kilogram = 1000 grams, kilometer = 1000 meters).
When referring to memory, it is common to use the term "kilobyte" (abbreviated "KB") as an approximation for 210 = 1024, since memory uses binary addresses and it makes math easier. This is not universal, however.
For instance:
- A 65,536 byte file is reported as "66 KB" by Mac OS X (standard definition), or "64 KB" by Microsoft Windows (non-standard definition).
- The HP 21MX real-time computer (1974) denoted 196,608 bytes as "196K", using the standard definition, while the HP 3000 business computer (1973) denoted 131,072 bytes as "128K bytes", using the non-standard definition.
Since this non-standard usage creates ambiguity, confusion, and has even led to lawsuits, the "K = 1024" usage has been explicitly prohibited by SI, officially deprecated by all the major standards organizations, and a new prefix system created for this usage, which defines the "kilobinary byte" or "kibibyte" (KiB) for this binary multiple and affirms that "kilobyte" (kB) always means 1000 bytes.

How many kilobytes in one byte?
1/1000 or 1/1024. Because "kilo" is the metric SI prefix for "1000", the "kilobyte" is the larger unit (1000 bytes). However, as bytes are arranged as binary numbers (powers of 2), a kilobyte actually refers to 1024 bytes. 1024 = 210
How many bits are in a bite for computer?
It goes; 8 Bits = 1 Byte 1000 bytes = 1 kilobyte 1000 kilobytes = 1 megabyte 1000 megabytes = 1 gigabyte 1000 gigabytes = 1 terabyte
What is is a GB?
As this question has been featured in "Technology" space, the "GB" you have asked referes to "Gigabyte". Byte is a term used to refer the computer memory. (1 Byte = 8 Bits) So, 1 byte (B) = 8 bits 1 kilobyte (KB) = 1024 Bytes 1 gigabyte (GB) = 1024 kilobytes
How many bytes are in 5 kilo nybble?
2056 1024 bytes = 1 Kilobyte therefore 1024x5= 5 Kilobytes thus 1024X5= 5120 divided by 2= 2560 Remember that a nybble is half of a bite a "nybble" is half a byte, you divive
One megabyte of memory consist of?
One megabyte consists of 1024 kilobytes. A kilobytes consist of 1024 bytes. Hence, a megabyte consists of 10242 bytes=1048578 bytes.A byte can store 1 character. Hence, a megabyte can store 1048578 characters. To go deeper down 1 byte consists of 8 bits. Hence,1 megabyte consists of 1048578 x 8=8388624 bits. Hence, 1MB=1024KB. Or 1058578B. Or8388624b.
How many kilobytes are in a word?
There should be 512 2-byte words ina kilobyte.
How do you convert 1 mega byte into kilo byte?
1 megabyte is 1000 kilobytes
How many kilobytes in one byte?
1/1000 or 1/1024. Because "kilo" is the metric SI prefix for "1000", the "kilobyte" is the larger unit (1000 bytes). However, as bytes are arranged as binary numbers (powers of 2), a kilobyte actually refers to 1024 bytes. 1024 = 210
How many bytes calculate to 1 kilobyte?
Bytes are smaller than Kilobytes. One Byte is equal too 1,000 kilobytes. After this comes megabytes, gigabytes, terabytes, etc.
What is the natural progression of a byte. Byte how many equals kilobyte how many equals megabyte 1024 equals Gigabyte?
1024 bytes = 1 kilobyte, 1024 kilobytes = 1 megabyte and so on.
What are the different kinds of byte?
There are kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes, terabytes, and it continues on.
How many byte in megabytes?
There's 1024 bytes in a kilobyte, and 1024 kilobytes in a megabyte. Therefor there are 1048576 bytes in a megabyte.
How may kilobytes to internet?
Hunh? The Internet doesn't byte ! What are you inferring, my friend ?
How many mega bytes equal 1 giga byte?
1024 megabytes = 1 gigabyte 1024 kilobytes = 1 megabyte
How many bits in 2kilobytes?
1 byte = 8 bits, 1 kilobyte = 1024 bytes. 2 kilobytes = 2048 * 8.
How many bits are in flabbergasted?
A "flabbergasted" is not a measurement of computer memory. 8 bits are in a byte, 1000 bytes are in a kilobyte, 1000 kilobytes are in a megabyte, Etc.
What are kbs on imvu?
"The kilobyte (symbol KB) is a multiple of the unit byte for digital information."On IMVU, it is nice to have a low number of kilobytes, having a high number causes lag.You can see how many Kilobytes your avatar has by running your mouse of your avatar.
