kilobyteIn computing, a unit of memory equal to 1,024 bytes. It is sometimes used, less precisely, to mean 1,000 bytes. In the metric system, the prefix ‘kilo-’ denotes multiplication by 1,000 (as in kilometre, a unit equal to 1,000 metres). However, computer memory size is based on the binary number system, and the most convenient binary equivalent of 1,000 is 210, or 1,024. |
