I don't understand KB and MB, I know what the letters stand for, just don't understand the size. My largest is 15,509 KB. I've been working on that one pretty close to a year now.
Bit is the smallest
Byte: 8 bits
Kilobyte (KB): 1024 bytes.
MegaByte (MB): 1024 kilobytes
GigaByte (GB): 1024 megabytes
Dividing by 1024 it's roughly 15.145MB
Now there is a misconception that was taking advantage by hardware sellers that it's only 1000 to byte so they can get larger numbers on storage disks to sell cheaply, but you notice that some of the harddrive isn't available
That's cause (math fun ahead)
1 TB (so 1,000,000,000,000 bytes)-divide by 1024
= 976,562,500KB /1024
= 953,674.3MB /1024
= 931.32GB
Where you're left questioning wait where's my other 70 GB making up to an actual TB, this is the reason a lot of hard drives never show their full capacity cause a TB drive is actually 930GB~
