  2. Byte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte

    An alternative system of nomenclature for the same units (referred to here as the customary convention), in which 1 kilobyte (KB) is equal to 1,024 bytes, [38] [39] [40] 1 megabyte (MB) is equal to 1024 2 bytes and 1 gigabyte (GB) is equal to 1024 3 bytes is mentioned by a 1990s JEDEC standard. Only the first three multiples (up to GB) are ...

  3. Orders of magnitude (bit rate) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(bit_rate)

    A group of 8 bits (8 bit) constitutes one byte (1 B). The byte is the most common unit of measurement of information (megabyte, mebibyte, gigabyte, gibibyte, etc.). The decimal SI prefixes kilo, mega etc., are powers of 10. The power of two equivalents are the binary prefixes kibi, mebi, etc. Accordingly: 1 kB = 1000 bytes = 8000 bits; 1 KiB ...

  5. Kilobyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilobyte

    The kilobyte is a multiple of the unit byte for digital information. A kilobyte may refer to either 1000 or 1024 bytes. The International System of Units (SI) defines the prefix kilo as a multiplication factor of 1000 (10 3); therefore, one kilobyte is 1000 bytes. [1] The internationally recommended unit symbol for the kilobyte is kB. [1]

  6. Units of information - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Units_of_information

    In the context of computing, the metric prefixes are often intended to mean something other than their normal meaning. For example, a kilobyte is actually 1024 bytes even though the standard meaning of kilo is 1000. And, mega normally means one million, but in computing is often used to mean 2 20 = 1 048 576. The table below illustrates the ...
