One kilobyte is equal to ______________.
One kilobyte is equal to ______________.
The correct option is B 1024 bytes
One kilobyte is equal to
1024 bytes.
Many people think that
there are 1000 bytes in a kilobyte. After all, "kilo" means 1000. In
most cases, this approximation is fine for determining how much space a file takes
up or how much disk space you have. But there are really 1024 bytes in a
kilobyte.
Thus the kibibyte, symbol
KiB, represents 210 = 1024 bytes. These prefixes are now part of the International
System of Quantities. The IEC further specified that the kilobyte should only
be used to refer to 1000 bytes. In practice, kilobyte is still commonly used to
refer to 1024 bytes.
A Byte is equal to 8
Bits. A Kilobyte is actually 1,024 Bytes depending on which definition is used.
A Megabyte is approximately 1000 Kilobytes. A megabyte is a unit of information
or computer storage equal to 1,048,576 bytes (Difference between kilobyte,
megabyte and gigabyte).
Therefore 1KB is the same
as 1024 x 8 = 8192 binary digits. Gigabyte (GB): There are 1024MB in one
gigabyte. Hard drive manufacturers have long eschewed this system in favour of
rounding down to make things easier (and also provide less storage space). This
means that 1000 bytes = 1 kilobyte and 1000 kilobytes = 1MB.
