What does K mean in computer slang?

K stands for Kilobyte, a unit for measurement of data capacity. So for example a computer that has 256K (kilobytes) of memory can store around 256,000 bytes (or characters) in the memory.

A simpler example is to think of an iPod. The capacity is measured in gigabytes, because they are larger than kilobytes. If iPod capacity was measured in kilobytes, you wouldn't have simple numbers like 8/16/24GB, they would be huge (An 8GB iPod would be called a 8388608K). So basically, kilobytes are a measurement of data space, just like gigabytes.

1GB (Gigabyte) = 1048576K (Kilobytes)
