A measure of the capacity of a storage device that is usually written as Kb. A Kb is equal to 1,024 bytes. If you want to check the size of a file, highlight the file name in Program Manager in Windows. The size of the file is displayed after the file name. Although 1Kb is actually equal to 1,024 bytes, many people use it to mean 1,000 bytes. The reason that 1Kb has 1,024 bytes is that it is equal to two to the power of 10 - remember that PCs work in binary, base 2. (See also Binary and Megabyte.)
