About this document
Understanding Byte Prefix Multipliers by Albu Sabin is a document available to read on EtoBox.
A byte is a unit of data that is eight binary digits long and is used to represent characters. Computer storage is usually measured in bytes or multiples of bytes like kilobytes and megabytes. There is sometimes confusion between decimal and binary multiples because prefixes like kilo represent 1000 in decimal but 1024 in binary. New binary prefixes like kibi were created to represent binary multiples precisely and reduce confusion but have not been widely adopted.
