Actually, everyone who has said something about K is wrong. K is 2 in 10th (2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2) and is 1024. It is commonly misused on the internet as 1000, but its real meaning is 1024.

Ever heard of km/kilometers, or kg/kilograms?

 


 exactly.

bdbdbd is correct, "K" is Kelvin

k however refers to 1000.

when coupled with B (Byte) then it gets confusing but it is generally assumed kB means 1000 bytes (even if it is 1024 in reality)
