A standard floppy disk (those still found today) is 1.44MB in size. There's 1024 kilobytes in a megabyte, and 1024 bytes in a kilobyte. If the size was exact usable space, it would be 1.44 * 1024 * 1024, which is 1509949 bytes. Since it's not the usable size, the USABLE size of a floppy is 1440 * 1024, or 1474560 bytes. Each ASCII character is one byte, so a floppy can hold many characters.
