What is a Decimal Megabyte?
The decimal megabyte (1,000,000 bytes) is used by storage manufacturers. A '256MB' USB stick holds exactly 256×10⁶ bytes, while your OS reports ∼244MiB (mebibytes). This distinction causes the 'missing storage' perception.
What is a Kilobyte?
Technically 1,024 bytes (2¹⁰), the kilobyte (KB) was redefined in 1998 as 1,000 bytes for storage devices. A plain text novel occupies ∼500KB, while the original 1981 IBM PC had just 16-64KB of RAM.
