Answer
Well, let's start small...a 'bit' is one digit - either a 0 or a 1. Bits are usually grouped in 'words' of 8 bits, called a Byte. 1024 Bytes are in a Kilobyte (2^10 bytes). 1024 KB equal one MB. Some individuals figure the size of a MB to be 1000 KB, as is dictated by the SI (metric) prefix 'MB'. However, if you are looking for how many bytes you can hold on a disk or in memory, you must use 1024 bytes/KB, not 1000.
