1024 bytes the actual number of bytes in one kilobyte. 2048 is typically referred to as 2 Kilobytes but that is kind of a shorthand. So, technically 2000 bytes exactly would be 1.9531 Kilobytes in the computer world anyway. It all has to do with the binary number system where 2048 is represented with 16bits as 0000100000000000. Each bit from the right to the left is worth double the value of the right most bit that is worth a decimal value of 1. So, again from right to left the bit values are 1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256,512,1024,2048. For example the decimal value of 2047 would look like this in binary 00000111111111111. Just add the values of each bit from right to left and you'll get it.
