    How to convert bytes to kilobytes

    Worked example: 1,024 B = 1 KB

    BKB01,0002,00000.511.5SI: 1.0241,024 B1 KB

    1,024 B ÷ 1,024 = 1 KB

    Rule: kilobytes = bytes ÷ 1,024 — binary units: 1 KB = 1,024 B.

    FAQ

    How many bytes are in a kilobyte?

    This converter uses the binary kilobyte: 1 KB = 1,024 bytes = 2¹⁰ bytes, the convention of operating systems, memory specifications and programming languages. Drive and network vendors use the decimal one instead, where 1 kB = 1,000 bytes; IEC 80000-13 calls the binary unit a kibibyte (KiB) to keep the two apart.

    What is the formula to convert bytes to kilobytes?

    Divide the number of bytes by 1,024: KB = bytes ÷ 1,024. For example, 1,024 B ÷ 1,024 = 1 KB, 2,048 B = 2 KB and 500 B ≈ 0.49 KB. The reverse conversion multiplies kilobytes by 1,024.

    How do you convert bytes to kilobytes in your head?

    Drop three digits (divide by 1,000) and take about 2.3% off the result, because 1,000 ÷ 1,024 ≈ 0.9766. For 5,000 bytes that gives 5 − 0.12 ≈ 4.88 KB — the same 4.88 KB the calculator shows.
