Unit 2 Color: 18 of 23

Because the number of bytes in files can be rather large, the number of bytes is usually represented in increments of 210 (1,024) or more:

1 Kilobyte (KB) = 1,024 bytes
1 Megabyte (MB) = 1,024 KB = 1,048,576 bytes
1 Gigabyte (GB) = 1,024 MB = 1,073,741,824 bytes
1 Terabyte (TB) = 1,024 GB = 1,073,741 MB or a lot of bytes!
