When computers and their language was designed, they created "binary" which is the language of 1010111010010001 that you see in advertistements, or reference in text books.
Binary is written in 8 characters. So every binary set you see will always be divisble by 8.
Now, those tiny 1's and 0's are called "bits" and since there are 8 bits to make one binary set, they called that set a "Byte". And since everything is still divisble by 8, one kilobyte is 1024 bytes.
ie.
8
16
32
64
128
256
512
1024
As you can see the numbers are simply doubled. you see these numbers frequently when purchasing flash drives, harddrives, etc.
::BIG EVIL COMPANIES::
Like to steal your money and give you less than what you paid for.
Most companies will define a gigabyte as 1,000,000,000 (1 bil) bytes. That's 73,741,824 bytes less than the real total which means a gigabyte flash drive is actually 954mb, instead of 1024. That's 70mb LESS!!!
Many! the conversion is like this: 1gb = 1024mb 1mb = 1024kb 1kb = 1024b
(2)10 = 1,024 For convenience, that quantity is referred to as "1 k", although the label understates the quantity by 2.34%. (rounded)
Because 1024KB makes up 1 MB, and 1024B makes up 1KB etc. This is because , "computer language" is binary (0's and 1's) and thus the closest to 1000 that can be achieved in just one multiple (i.e. 10000000000 or 000000001000) is 1024.
1kb
1000 Tb = 1 Pb (Petabyte) Technically 1 Pb = 1024 Tb in the same way that: 1Tb = 1024Gb 1Gb = 1024Mb 1Mb = 1024Kb 1Kb = 1024b
KB stands for kilobyte and kilo means one thousand so a kilobyte is one thousand bytes.
1Mb is 1024kb, 1024x4= 4096kb if you want to deal in bytes, 1kb = 1024b, so 1mb is 1024bx1024b = 1048576b so 1Mb = 1024kb, or 1048576 bytes.
how much writing is 1KB
=50 megabytes is equal to 0.05 gigabytes==500mb is 0.05==5000kb is equal to 50mb==[this may be correct but]==1000b is equal to 1kb==1000kb is equal to 1mb==1000mb is equal to 1gb==1000gb is equal to 1tb==50 megabytes is equal to 0.05 gigabytes==500mb is 0.05==5000kb is equal to 50mb==[this may be correct but]==1000b is equal to 1kb==1000kb is equal to 1mb==1000mb is equal to 1gb==1000gb is equal to 1tb=
One kilobyte is equal to one billionth of a terabyte, or 1KB = .000000001 TB
1024KB = 1MB 1KB = 1/1024MB One KB is 0.0009765625MB.
It is an amount of data. The kb stands for kilobytes. Then you get the smaller 'b' meaning bytes, bigger 'mb' meaning megabytes, 'gb' meaning gigabytes and 'tb' meaning terabytes. 1024b=1kb, 1024kb=1mb, 1024mb=1gb and 1024gb=1tb. So 6478019kb= roughly 6326mb = roughly 6.17gb
