The answers you have so far are correct. 1024.
The reason is that the computer is based on binary; on/off, 1/0. Every number, to a computer, is base 2, and therefore a power of 2. 1024 is the nearest power of 2 to 1000.
Be aware, however, that hard drive sizes are often using 1000 as their basis. It's marketing to make the HD sound bigger than it really is.

Kilo is 1000 so 1000 bytes
mega is a million or 1000 kilobytes in megabyte
giga is a 1000 megabytes
and terabyte is 1000 gigabytes
We currently have a video system in that uses 100 terabytes of storage of live video camera.
Now comes the crazy part. Because a byte is made up of binary parts, a Kilobyte is actually 1024 bits not actually 1000, therefore everything above is actually 1024 x 1024 x1024 x1024 to get to a terabyte. Confusing but then computers understand it so we don't have to understand the other part.

1024 bytes = 1 kilobyte
1024 kilobytes = 1 megabyte
1024 megabytes = 1 gigabyte
1024 gigabytes = 1 terabyte

1024 bytes in a kilobyte
1024 kilobytes in a megabyte
1024 megabytes in a gigabytes
1024 gigabytes in a terabytes.
It's all derived from serial doubling of 8:
8 x 2 = 16
16 x 2 = 32
32 x 2 = 64
64 x 2 = 128
128 x 2 = 512
512 x 2 = 1024
