Wikipedia

Kilobyte

The kilobyte is a multiple of the unit byte for digital information.

The International System of Units (SI) defines the prefix kilo as 1000 (10³); per this definition, one kilobyte is 1000 bytes. The internationally recommended unit symbol for the kilobyte is kB.

In some areas of information technology, particularly in reference to solid-state memory capacity, kilobyte instead typically refers to 1024 (2¹⁰) bytes. This arises from the prevalence of sizes that are powers of two in modern digital memory architectures, coupled with the accident that 2¹⁰ differs from 10³ by less than 2.5%. A kibibyte is defined by IEC 80000-13 as 1024 bytes.
