| | Kilobyte - definition of Kilobyte in Encyclopedia |
 | | It is used describing storage capacity and memory size of computers (as it is a power of 2, making it easy for computers, which work in binary, to manipulate). | | | The kilobyte comes in two flavours, depending on the context in which it is used, meaning either 1,000 or 1,024 bytes. | | | = 1024 and 1024 is close to 1000, computer engineers defined the kilobyte to be 1024 bytes, which in binary is 2 |

| | Technically, therefore, a kilobyte is 1,024 bytes, but it is often used loosely as a synonym for 1,000 bytes. | | | In computer literature, kilobyte is usually abbreviated as K or Kb. | | | For example, a computer that has 256K main memory can store approximately 256,000 bytes (or characters) in memory at one time. |

| | Kilobyte - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | A kilobyte (derived from the SI prefix kilo-, meaning 1000) is a unit of information or computer storage equal to either 1024 or 1000 bytes. | | | The term "kilobyte" was first used to refer to a value of 1024 bytes (2 | | | However, it is common to use 1000 when deriving kilobyte measures from quantities which are not based on powers of two, such as clock speeds or bitrates. |

| | ATVCi.net Bits and Bytes : Whats the deal? |
| | Although computer data is normally measured in binary code, the prefixes for the multiples are based on the metric system. | | | The nearest binary number to 1,000 is 2^10 or 1,024; thus 1,024 bytes was named a Kilobyte. | | | Instead of using the metric prefixes for multiples in binary code, the new IEC standard invented specific prefixes for binary multiples made up of only the first two letters of the metric prefixes and adding the first two letters of the word "binary". |

| | Large amounts of memory are indicated in terms of kilobytes (1,024 bytes), megabytes (1,048,576 bytes), and gigabytes (1,073,741,824 bytes). | | | On almost all modern computers, a byte is equal to 8 bits. | | | This is Chapter 1 of Randall Hyde's book, "Art of Assembly Language." It describes the binary and hexadecimal numbering systems, binary data organization (bits, nibbles, bytes, words, and double words), signed and unsigned numbering systems, arithmetic, logical, shift, and rotate operations on binary values, bit fields and packed data, and the ASCII character set. |
