What is a Byte?
The byte is the standard unit of digital storage, equal to 8 bits and capable of encoding 256 distinct values (2⁸). It became the norm with IBM's System/360 in 1964 as the smallest addressable memory unit and remains so in virtually all modern computing architectures. File sizes, RAM, and storage capacities are all measured in bytes or multiples thereof. A single ASCII character requires exactly one byte.
What is a Kilobyte?
The kilobyte equals 1,024 bytes in binary (computing) conventions, or 1,000 bytes in decimal SI conventions. The discrepancy arises because computing naturally works in powers of 2, while SI prefixes denote powers of 10. The IEC introduced 'kibibyte' (KiB = 1,024 bytes) to distinguish the two, though 'kilobyte' and 'KB' are widely used for both. A plain-text email without attachments is typically 2–5 kilobytes.
