Excerpt: In computing, a binary prefix is a specifier or mnemonic that is prepended to the units of digital information, the bit and the byte, to indicate multiplication by a power of 2. In practice the powers used are multiples of 10, so the prefixes denote powers of The computer industry uses terms such as kilobyte, megabyte, and gigabyte, and corresponding symbols KB, MB, and GB, in two different ways. For example, in citations of main memory or RAM capacity, gigabyte customarily means bytes. This is a power of 2, specifically 2, therefore this usage is referred to as a binary unit or
