Large value capacitors are difficult to make (large value inductors are even harder to make) and take up large volumes of space. One farad capacitors are available in electrolytics, but are about the size of soup cans. If they were made, kilo & mega farad electrolytic capacitors would have volumes of roughly a thousand & a million soup cans respectively! Nonelectrolytic capacitors would be far larger!!!

What percentage is 14KB from 8MB?

In most units the relationship between kilo and mega is mega = 103 * kilo, that is mega = 1000*kilo. However, because data are usually stored and processed in binary rather than decimal form, mega = 210 * kilo which gives mega = 1024*kilo. This gives two answers to the question: decimal basis: 100*14/8000 = 0.175% binary basis: 100*14/(8*1024) = 0.1709 % approx.
