Unit Information

Kilobyte (KB)

Definition

A kilobyte (symbol: KB) is a unit of digital information equal to 1,000 bytes. While some older operating systems use 'KB' to mean 1,024 bytes (a kibibyte), the SI standard defines it as exactly 1,000 bytes.

Current Use

Kilobytes are used to measure the size of very small files, such as simple text documents, small icons, or metadata within larger files.

Bit (bit)

Definition

A bit (short for binary digit) is the most basic unit of information in computing and digital communications. A bit can have only one of two values, most commonly represented as 0 or 1. All digital data is stored and processed in bits.

Current Use

Bits are fundamental to all electronic storage and data transmission. They are commonly used to measure data transfer speeds, such as bits per second (bps). In hardware, they represent the state of a transistor or a capacitor.
