1 kibibyte = 1 KiB =210 bytes = 1024 bytes.

The prefix kibi is derived as a mnemonic from the words kilo and binary, indicating its origin in the closeness in value to the SI prefixkilo (1000). Notice, though, that while the SI prefix is lowercase (k), the IEC prefix starts with uppercase (Ki).

while 1Kilobyte = 1 KB = 103 bytes = 1000 bytes..

So, anybody can check it out by Wikipedia....

1kB is one kilo byte.

kB is 1024 bytes, which is 2 to the power of 10 (2^10).

Each byte is 8 bits. A bit is a binary digit which could be 0 or 1 only.

kB is 8192 bits, which is 8x(2 to the power 10) (16^10).

However; one kilo bits is 2^10 bits.

Kilo Bytes and Kilo Bits are used for two types electronic representations.

Kilo Bytes for storage and Kilo Bits for data streaming.
