Converting from Byte (B) to Kilobyte (kB) | Data storage (1KB=1024B)

What is Byte (B)

A Byte (B) is the basic unit of digital information storage. It is widely used in computing and telecommunications. A single byte typically represents one character of text in a computer. The byte is made up of 8 bits, where each bit can be either a 0 or a 1. Therefore, a byte can have 256 possible values, ranging from 0 to 255.

What is Kilobyte (kB)

A Kilobyte (kB) is a unit of digital information that is equal to 1024 bytes. It is commonly used to measure the size of files, memory, and storage capacity. The kilobyte is often used to represent smaller files or amounts of data, such as text documents or small images. In some contexts, a kilobyte may also be understood to be 1000 bytes in the decimal system, but in computing, it is standard to use the binary definition where 1 kB = 1024 B.

Conversion Formulas

To convert between Bytes and Kilobytes, you can use the following formulas:

1. From Byte to Kilobyte:

   kB=B×0.0009765625

2. From Kilobyte to Byte:

   B=kB×1024
