1 000 000 bytes or 1 024 000 bytes

or 8 000 000 bits

or

The definition of the kilobyte has traditionally been ambiguous. Electronic memory circuits use a binary architecture, which means that the number of addressable storage locations is a power of 2, and memory sizes are therefore not integer multiples (or fractions) of 1000, but of 1024. However, as 1024 (210) is approximately 1000, the established prefix symbol k (kilo) was used as a convenient prefix for memory capacities in multiples. On the other hand, for products where capacity factors were not bound to powers of two, such as magnetic disks (sector and track numbers) and networking equipment (bit rates), strict decimal-based units were used
