About both units

From

Gigabyte

GB

The gigabyte equals 1,000,000,000 bytes (SI) or 1,073,741,824 bytes (binary, GiB). Standard unit for USB drives, SSDs, mobile-data allowances and RAM. A 64 GB phone holds about 15,000 photos.

Real-world: Smartphone: 64 GB / 128 GB / 256 GB typical. PC RAM: 16 GB / 32 GB common. UHD movie: 20–50 GB.

Kilobyte

KB

The kilobyte equals 1000 bytes (SI) or 1024 bytes (binary). In drive marketing and networking, KB = 1000 B. In RAM and some OS contexts, KB = 1024 B. Use KiB when you specifically mean 1024 bytes.

Real-world: Simple text file: 1–10 KB. Webpage HTML: 20–200 KB. Email: typically under 100 KB without attachment.

Tips & common mistakes

Quick tips

  • SI: 1 GB = 1000 MB = 10⁹ B. Binary GiB = 2³⁰ B.
  • Hard drives use SI; OS may show binary — discrepancy ~7%.
  • Mobile data plans: SI GB.

Avoid these

  • Expecting 64 GB drive to hold 64 × 1,073,741,824 B — it's 64 × 10⁹ B (7% less by binary measure).
  • Confusing GB with Gb (gigabit, 1/8).
  • Mixing GB and GiB without noting the discrepancy.
