How to convert kilobytes to bytes
Multiply the value in kB by 1,000: the result is in B.
Where these two units are used
The kilobyte is a thousand bytes for the manufacturer and 1024 for the operating system; the international electrotechnical commission named the second one kibibyte in 1998, and almost nobody uses it. The byte is eight bits today, but that was not always true: early machines had six, seven or nine, which is why the unambiguous name in several languages is octet. This is where the thousand turns ambiguous: the manufacturer counts a thousand bytes, the operating system counts 1024, and the 2.4 per cent gap widens with every prefix added.
