kilobyte

In binary, a kilobyte has two to the power of 10 bytes, or 1024.

But we only send 19 kilobytes.

The Voyager's computer systems were only 69 kilobytes large, barely enough for one image, let alone 115.

Just like one kilogram is a thousand grams, 1 kilobyte is a thousand bytes… . or really 8000 bits.

1000 is also right when talking about kilobytes, but we should acknowledge it isn’t the only correct definition.

Or 20 kilobytes minus one byte.

In total, there are 9 of these, so this memory board could hold a maximum of 9216 bits, which is around 9 kilobytes.

So we should be able to read out the first four kilobytes of the ROM.

There isn't a lot of space on a processor's chip, so most caches are just kilobytes or maybe megabytes in size, where RAM is usually gigabytes.

For example, Microsoft's Disk Operating System, or MS-DOS, was just 160 kilobytes, allowing it to fit, as the name suggests, onto a single disk.
