When numerical modifiers such as K, M, and G are used, they typically indicate powers of 2, not powersof 10. For example, 1 KB equals 1 024 bytes (2 10 ), 1 MB equals 1 048 576 bytes (2 20 ), and 1 GB equals 1 073 741 824 bytes (2 30 ). When expressing storage capacity, MB equals 1 000 KB (1 024 000...
