technology easy true/false

1 Kilobyte (KB) is exactly equal to 1000 bytes in computer memory measurement.

  1. True
  2. False

Answer: False

In binary system used by computers, 1 KB = 1024 bytes (2^10). The decimal approximation of 1000 bytes is used by storage manufacturers, causing confusion. IEC standards now use KiB (Kibibyte) for 1024 bytes to avoid ambiguity.
