About these units
Byte (B)
- Definition
- A byte (B) is a unit of digital information made up of 8 bits, enough to store a single character.
- History
- The term was coined at IBM in the 1950s; the 8-bit byte became standard with early microprocessors.
- Current use
- Bytes are the fundamental unit for file sizes and memory in computing.
Kilobyte (KB)
- Definition
- A kilobyte (KB) is 1,024 bytes in the binary convention used by most operating systems.
- History
- Early computing adopted powers of two, so a "kilo" came to mean 1,024 rather than 1,000.
- Current use
- Kilobytes measure small files such as documents and configuration data.
