well it prob. holds like a 1000

A standard floppy disk (those still found today) is 1.44MB in size. There's 1024 kilobytes in a megabyte, and 1024 bytes in a kilobyte. If the size was exact usable space, it would be 1.44 * 1024 * 1024, which is 1509949 bytes. Since it's not the usable size, the USABLE size of a floppy is 1440 * 1024, or 1474560 bytes. Each ASCII character is one byte, so a floppy can hold many characters.
The capacity of a disk depends on its type. You're probably thinking about a standard 3½" floppy disk. It holds 1440*1024 bytes, which equals 1474560 bytes. For other capacities, look below
If kB = 1000 bytes, and a "1.44 MB" disk actually holds 1.44 × 1024 × 1000 = 1,474,560 bytes, then 983 files can fit.
Technically, there would be 1.44 × 1000 × 1000 = 1,440,000 bytes in 1.44 megabytes. However, the "1.44 MB" floppy disk was actually mislabeled. It actually held 1.44 x 1000 KiB = 1.44 x 1000 x 1024 bytes = 1,474,560 bytes

IBM introduced the floppy disk in 1971 to store microcode for the System/370. It was an 8 inch single density single sided disk with a capacity of 80,000 bytes.
