Convert 120 Kilobytes to Bytes
120 Kilobyte = 122880 Byte
Conversion Process
This conversion uses Bit as the base unit. We'll first convert Kilobyte to Bit, then convert from Bit to Byte.
Step 1: Convert from Kilobyte to Bit
120 × 8192 = 983040
Result: 983040 Bit
Step 2: Convert from Bit to Byte
983040 × 0.125 = 122880
Result: 122880 Byte
Direct Conversion Factor
120 × 1024 = 122880
Direct conversion: 120 Kilobyte = 122880 Byte
Frequently Asked Questions
How many Bytes are in 120 Kilobytes?
There are 122880 Bytes in 120 Kilobytes.
What is 120 Kilobytes in Bytes?
120 Kilobytes is equal to 122880 Bytes. To perform this conversion yourself using the convention, multiply 120 by 1024.
How to convert 120 Kilobytes to Bytes?
To convert 120 Kilobytes to Bytes using the convention, multiply 120 by 1024. This gives you 122880 Bytes.
What is the formula to convert Kilobytes to Bytes?
The formula to convert from Kilobytes to Bytes using the convention is: Bytes = Kilobytes × 1024. Using this formula, 120 Kilobytes equals 122880 Bytes.
What is the difference between Kilobytes and Bytes?
The main difference between Kilobytes and Bytes is that 1 Kilobytes equals 1024 Bytes using the convention. Note that data storage units commonly use two conventions: the decimal (SI) based on powers of 1000 (kB, MB, GB, etc.) and the binary (IEC) based on powers of 1024 (KiB, MiB, GiB, etc.). This calculator uses the convention.
Is Kilobytes bigger than Bytes?
Kilobyte is larger than Byte. Specifically, using the convention, 1 Kilobytes equals 1024 Bytes.
Why is there confusion between KB and KiB, MB and MiB, etc.?
Historically, "kilobyte" (KB) was often used informally to mean 1024 bytes (2^10). However, the SI prefix "kilo" officially means 1000 (10^3). This led to confusion. The IEC introduced binary prefixes like kibibyte (KiB) specifically for 1024 bytes, mebibyte (MiB) for 1024 KiB, etc., to provide clarity. SI prefixes (kB, MB, GB) are now correctly used for powers of 1000, while IEC prefixes (KiB, MiB, GiB) are used for powers of 1024.
What is the difference between bits and bytes?
A bit is the smallest unit of data, representing a binary value of either 0 or 1. A byte is a common unit of digital information that consists of 8 bits. Data storage capacity is typically measured in bytes and their larger multiples.
