How many kilos are my bytes?

Answer 1

I have binocular vision (and I can blink to my heart's desire, hence creating 0's and 1's), but does that mean my dreams are binary too? ... If the brain can be thought of as a sophisticated circuitry, perhaps the answer if YES. ... Although, in a modern, and mostly virtual world, you're never gonna have a decent dream on a mere kilo of bytes - so byte harder and more often. Dream BIG, and maybe some of them might just ("byte-willing") come true.

P.S. A good arsenal to carry in your binary bag of tricks is the following:

a[n]*2^n + a[n-1]*2^(n-1)+...+a[1]*2^1 + a[0]*2^0

where each a[i] is either a 1 or a 0 in this case.

Hence: 1 kilobytes = 1024 bytes = (1X10^3)+(0X10^2)+(2X10^1)+ (4X10^0) bytes = (1000+0+20+4) bytes = 2^10 bytes


P.S.S. Mr. Ed (my little pug puppy) said to tell you, he maybe small but his bytes are even bigger than his barks. ... That's one lil' dog you do NOT wanna mess with - he packs a mean Gigabyte.

Answer 2

8 bits to a byte. "Kilo" ot "k" means 10 to the 3rd power so just how many ever bytes you have divide by a thousand and that is your kilobytes.

Answer 3

Bytes are bigger than bits but smaller than kilos

1 megabits (informal notation: kilobyte = 1024 bytes)
bits 1048576
bytes 131072
kilobits 1024
kilobytes 128
megabits 1
megabytes 0.125
gigabits 0.0009765625
gigabytes 0.0001220703125
