Question

One KB is equal to :

• A. 1000 bytes
• B. 1012 bytes
• C. 1024 bytes
• D. 1014 bytes

Answer 1

Answer:

C. 1024 bytes

• A kilobyte (KB) is commonly used to denote 1024 bytes in computer memory contexts. This comes from binary-based addressing used in computers: 1 kilobyte = 2^10 bytes = 1024 bytes. While in some storage-device marketing (and in the SI system) "kilo" means 1000, in most computing and memory-related questions the convention is 1024 bytes. Therefore Option C (1024 bytes) is correct.
