No, as computers count in twos (because of binary) each "step up" after the byte is 1,024.

8 bits in a byte

1,024 bytes in a kilobyte

1,024 kilobytes in a megabyte.

Most hard drive manufactures round the 1,024 off to 1,000. So a 1 Terabyte hard drive is often 1,000 Gigabytes, not 1,024 as it "should" be.
