2^20 or 1048576 kilobytes are in a gigabyte

In computers, generally the base 2 numeral system is utilized. 2^10 ~= 1000, and so each power of ten changes the prefix name in the same manner as a factor of 1000 would in other fields of study. kilo -> giga is 1000*1000 which in computer science would be represented by 2^20.
