a proper kbyte has 1024 bytes.
Outside of computers, "K" almost always means 1,000. In computer science they are very fond of even powers of 2 1024 = 2^10

There are 1024 bytes in a kilobyte.

1024. It's not 1000, the standard meaning of "K" because computers work in the binary (base 2) system and 1024 is 2 raised to the 10th power.

If you are using a base 2 system then:
1 kilobytes = 1024 bytes
If you are using a base 10 system then:
1 kilobytes = 1000 bytes
So both of you are correct! : )

1000
actually K is engineering notation and it is 10 raised to the 3rd power which is 1000

there are 8 bits to a byte
K can be Kb or KB kilobits or kilobytes
