Use in computing

In computing, kilo does not always exactly denote 1000 but is usually equivalent to 1024 (2¹⁰), most often when denoting storage. For example, a kilobyte is frequentely used as 1024 bytes, and not 1000 bytes as it should. A common convention is to use k for 1000 and K for 1024, but this is not universally recognised and cannot be relied upon. The prefix kibi for 1024 has also been introduced (with the abbreviation Ki), but has not gained much popularity. Originally, the word computing was synonymous with counting and calculating, and a science that deals with the original sense of computing mathematical calculations. ... A kilobyte (derived from the SI prefix kilo-) is a unit of information or computer storage equal to either 1024 or 1000 bytes. ... A byte is commonly used as a unit of storage measurement in computers, regardless of the type of data being stored. ...
