Subject: Kilobytes to Bytes question
So something 617,000 Bytes is under 600,000 Kilobytes?
"It is good to see ourselves as
others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we
are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not
angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to
say." - Ghandi
1 Kilobyte = 1024 Bytes. So, 600,000 KB = 614,400,000 B

Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it
into a fruit salad.
Also, I have no idea why a KB isn't just 1K Bytes. I don't claim to understand the minds of people who make up their own maths. :lol:

Thanks! I thought I was right, but for some reason seeing the number go into the mega millions threw me off!

My ex is a programmer and he explained that to me so many times but I still don't get it either, LOL

Because computers use binary systems i.e. 1 and 0 so it's called a binary system so therefore 1000 as a kilobyte is 2 to the power of 10 so that becomes 1024 so by definition a megabyte is 2 to the power of 20 and a Gigabyte 2 to the power of 30 etc. etc.
Injustice will be avenged.

The Power Of Two (2)A computer is based on the binary number system which only has two values, 0 and 1.
Memory is based on the power of 2 and goes like this
Just double (multiply by 2) the value to get the next higher amount
2 x 2 = 4
4 x 2 = 8
8 x 2 = 16
16 x 2 = 32
32 x 2 = 64
64 x 2 = 128
128 x 2 = 256
256 x 2 = 512
512 x 2 = 1,024 actual but also just called 1K Bytes
=== KiloBytes - KB === K = 1,000 (kilo = thousand)
1,024 actual but referred to as 1K Bytes or 1KB
2,048 - 2KB
4,096 - 4 KB
8,192 - 8 KB
16,384 - 16 KB
32,768 - 32 KB
65,536 - 64 KB (this is actually 65,536 Bytes or 65.536 KB)
131,072 - 128 KB
262,144 - 256 KB
524,288 - 512 KB or 0.5 MB (MegaBytes)
=== MegaBytes - MB === M = 1,000,000 (mega = million)
1,048,576 - 1MB or 1,000 KB
2,097,152 - 2 MB
4,194,304 - 4 MB
8,388,608 - 8 MB
16,777,216 - 16 MB

67,108,864 - 64 MB
134,217,728 - 128 MB
268,435,456 - 256 MB
536,870,912 - 512 MB or 0.5 GB (GigaBytes)
=== GigaBytes - GB === G = 1,000,000,000 (giga = billion)
1,073,741,824 - 1 GB
2,147,483,648 - 2 GB
4,294,967,296 - 4 GB
8,589,934,592 - 8 GB
17,179,869,184 - 16 GB
34,359,738,368 - 32 GB
68,719,476,736 - 64 GB
137,438,953,472 - 128 GB
274,877,906,944 - 256 GB
549,755,813,888 - 512 GB or 0.5 TeraBytes
=== TeraBytes === T = 1,000,000,000,000 (tera = trillion or a million million)
1,099,511,627,776 - 1 TB
That's enough for now ... don't you think ... ;=]
Need more input? ... Just use the link above.
Now, aren't you glad you asked? ... ;=]
cheers,
dr geep
;=]
Oh, sorry, guess I got carried away ............. didn't I? ... ;=]
Q. *"How many Bytes is 600,000 Kilobytes?"
A. 600,000,000 Bytes ....... because kilo means thousand
or ... 600 Megabytes ... or ... 0.6 GigaBytes or ...
Remember ... "With Poser, all things are possible, and poseable!"
cheers,
dr geep ... :o]

Actually it was 600KB that I was looking for, not 600,000. I seriously need to get my eyes checked, or lay off the computer for awhile to give my eyes a break! But I'm having such fun with Halloween renders that I just can't stop now, lol

Dear Santa
Please send me a 200 Terabyte HD for Christmas, so that I may have some hope of getting all my Poser stuff together.
Many thanks

PS Better make it two of 'em, just to be on the safe side.
Coppula eam se non posit acceptera jocularum.
and a byte is 8 bits.. Internet companies exploit this fact by saying you get a 1.5 mb connection wich is actually mega bit, not mega byte. so you actually get 1.5 / 8 .
Handle every stressful situation like a dog.
If you can't eat it or play with it,
just pee on it and walk away. :-)

I wouldnt have to manage my anger
if people would manage their stupidity......
Why is it 1KB and 1Kb instead of 1K Bytes or 1K bits? Because this is standard scientific notation.
You don't say 1M Hertz,. do you? You say 1MHz. Your CPU is 3.0 GHz (not 3.0G Hertz).
The first part is the Greek exponential size:
T tera 10^12
G giga 10^9
M mega 10^6
k kilo 10^3
...
and the second is the accepted unit abbreviation:
V = Volt
Amp = Ampere
N = Newton
Hz = Hertz
g = gram
m = meter
s = second
B = Byte
b = bit
...
And as was carefully mentioned, you have to be aware of the difference when people talk about Mb/s and MB/s speeds (Megabits per second and MegaBytes per second). The former is 1/8th the speed.
C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the
foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg
off.

Because it just is. :biggrin:

Quote - And half a byte is a nibble (4 bits) ;)
Bzzt! Wrong! It's a nybble. :tongue2: :biggrin:

Also, there's a discrepency in sizes between memory and hard drive capacities. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigabyte
Hard drive sizes are in decimal sizes, whereas memory sizes are in binary sizes. ie, a 1 gigabyte harddrive has 1,000,000,000 bytes whereas a 1 gigabyte memory stick has 1,073,741,824 bytes. We all get silently robbed by the hard drive manufacturers :)
Don't you just hate that! ;)

Damn! So i was right! Why did i study french and english at the University instead of maths and physics? I could have been a great and famous scientist!! And earn a lot of millions of bucks! And have all the chicks i wanted! A fast sport car! My name in all scientist revues! Meet the president! ... Wait a minute! ... Uh! I'ts better i am what i am... I don't REALLY want to meet the president.
