Solve : kB help?

Answer»

If one kB = 1,000 Bytes
And one kiB = 1,024 Bytes

What is kiB???

I know kB = kilobyte that what is kiB??1 kB isn't 1000 bytes. It is 1024, but is commonly rounded off to 1000. kiB and kB are the same thing.Quote from: kpac on February 01, 2010, 02:52:46 PM

1 kB isn't 1000 bytes. It is 1024, but is commonly rounded off to 1000. kiB and kB are the same thing.

according to the SI standards a Kilobyte is 1000 bytes, and the KIBIBYTE, mibibyte, etc are the "binary" prefixes that are the "standard".

Nobody uses the KiB prefixes though. because they are IMMENSELY stupid and 20 years too late.French do, BC_Programmer. ;P
