a kilobyte is 1024 bytes, same for rest.
actually, it's kiBIbyte you're talking about, which is 1024 bytes. a kilobyte is 1000 bytes. a gigabyte is 1 000 000 000 bytes (something I like to call business-gigabyte) while a giBIbyte is 1 073 741 824 bytes (that being 1024^3). this is why you buy a 320GB HDD and you get 298GB (actually GiB, not GB, since it's giBIbyte) worth of space.
megamageiii a kilobyte is 1024 bytes but kilo means 1000
bunnyfaceperson123: Kilo is actually 1024
masonova1: Yea, but most things in TPT are 1 bit.
WHAT. 1 KILO IN TPT?!?! **HEAD EXPLODES**
actually, *geek mode activated* it goes in this order: bit, byte, kilobyte, megabyte, gigabyte, terabyte, exabyte, zettabyte, and finally, a yottabyte.
all these bites bytes make me think of a com puter about to explode!
