Hello,
My question seems rather basic in computer science, but today I've come to realize it's a knowledge I lack.
It's said that 1 KB = 1024 bytes.
So 64 KB = 64 * 1024 = 65536 bytes.
How do you calculate the number of bytes in 1.44 MB?
1.44 * 1024 * 1024 = 1509949.44
or
(440 * 1024) + (1024 * 1024) = 1499136
For the units bits/s, does 1 kbps also mean 1024 bits?
Why was this notation made for the byte 1 KB = 1024 B?
