KiloBytes
A kilobyte is equivalent to 1,024 bytes, often used to measure the size of small files like text documents or icons. It’s the first notable step up from the byte, giving a more practical way to describe data that involves text, simple graphics, or small images. Understanding kilobytes helps when considering storage for email attachments, photos, and more.
GigaBytes
A gigabyte consists of 1,024 megabytes, often used to measure storage capacity and the size of larger files like videos, software, or high-resolution images. Gigabytes are a common reference when discussing the storage space of smartphones, hard drives, and memory cards, making it an important term in understanding device capabilities.
