我们知道计算机处理器由多个决定性电路组成，每个决定性电路可以是关闭的，也可以是开启的。这两种状态在内存方面用 0 或 1 来表示，称之为bit(BInary digiTS)。一组八个bit组成一个字节（byte）。 1 个byte可以表示零 (00000000) 和 255 (11111111) 之间的数字，即 $2^{8}$ =256。

A computer processor is made up of multiple decisive circuits, each one of which may be either OFF or ON. These two states in terms of memory are represented by a 0 or 1. In order to count higher than 1, such bits (BInary digiTS) are suspended together. A group of eight bits is known as a byte. 1 byte can represent numbers between zero (00000000) and 255 (11111111), or 28 = 256 distinct positions. Of course, these bytes may also be combined to represent larger numbers. The computer represents all characters and numbers internally in the same fashion.

而一个KB(KiloBytes )不是1000个bytes，而是 $2^{10}$ i.e. 1024 个 bytes。一次类推 1 MB(MegaBytes) 是 $2^{20}$ 个 bytes等等。

A kilobyte(KB) is not exactly, as one might expect, of 1000 bytes. Rather, the correct amount is $2^{10}$ i.e. 1024 bytes. Similarly, a megabyte(MB) is not $1000^{2}$ i.e. 1, 000, 000 bytes, but instead $1024^{2}$ i.e. 1, 048, 576 bytes. A gigabyte is $1024^{3}$ bytes.
