How much KB is in 1 KB?

Answer 1

Strictly in computer terms and with reference to data size, there would be no difference.

kb and KB both mean kilobyte or 1024 bytes. It is likely that someone was just being lazy in writing 1kb as opposed to the correct 1KB.

Answer 2

Depending upon the context, it can be the same, but 1K is imprecise notation, and should probably not be used. 1kb in that case would be a more accurate way to represent you were referring to a kilobit than 1K. 1K could mean 1 kilobit or 1 kilobyte, which are two different measrements. Outside of computers, 1K could stand for 1 kilometer, for example. So to summarize, depending upon the context it is written in, it may well be 1kb (one kilobit), but without the context it is not possible to tell.

Answer 3

Well, the obvious answer would be: 1 KB, did you mean: "How many bytes in 1 KB?" if you did then the answer would be: 1024 bytes in 1 KB.
