bit/byte and kilo/mega/giga/tera/peta

Convention:

"b" (small B) denotes bit and "B" (capital B) denotes byte.

128 kb = 128 kilo bit

16 kB = 16 kilo byte

For some cases, "k" (small K) before "b" denotes bit and "K" (capital K) denotes byte.

128 kb = 128 kilo bit

16 Kb = 16 kilo byte

So,

1 Kilo Byte = 1 kB = 1 KB

1 Kilo Bit = 1 kb

Learning:

1 Byte = 8 Bit

1 kb (Kilo-Byte)

= 1000 bit

= 125 Byte

= 0.125 KB

 

1 mb (Mega-Bit)

= 1000 kb

= 1000 x 1000 bit

= 125,000 Byte

= 125.00 KB

= 0.125 MB

 

1 gb (Giga-Bit)

= 1000 mb

= 1000 x 1000 kb

= 1000 x1000 x1000 bit

= 125,000,000 Byte

= 125,000 KB

= 125 MB

= 0.125 GB
