question 12 of 25
what is another name for 1024 bytes of data?

a. a terabyte
b. a megabyte
c. a gigabyte
d. a kilobyte

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we recall the definitions of different data storage units:

• A kilobyte (KB) is defined as 1024 bytes (in the binary system, which is commonly used in computing for data storage).
• A megabyte (MB) is \(1024\times1024\) bytes (or \(2^{20}\) bytes).
• A gigabyte (GB) is \(1024\times1024\times1024\) bytes (or \(2^{30}\) bytes).
• A terabyte (TB) is \(1024\times1024\times1024\times1024\) bytes (or \(2^{40}\) bytes).

So, 1024 bytes is a kilobyte.

Answer:

D. A kilobyte
