Before you understand the difference between them, you need to figure out the following points:

The difference between 1.Kb and KB: the information in the computer is represented by binary zeros and ones, in which each 0 or 1 is called a bit, denoted by a lowercase b, or bit (bit); an uppercase B represents byte, that is, a byte, and a byte = eight bits, that is, 1Byte 8b; the preceding uppercase K means thousands, that is, a thousand bits (Kb) or a thousand bytes (KB). Represents the size unit of a file, usually using KB to represent the size of the file.

2.ps:/s (per second)

A unit of binary digits transmitted per second

Bps

Kbps

Mbps

The unit of bytes transmitted per second

MBps

KBps

Bps

Usually software downloads show the number of bytes, assuming that the broadband download speed of 10m is 10M=10Mbps=10000Kbps=10000/8KBps=1250KBps.

Unit of storage

One Chinese character = 2 English letters = 2 bytes

Official standards:

1 Chinese character = 2 bytes

1 byte (Byte) = 8 bits (bit) = 8 binary numbers

1 bit (bit) = 1 binary number

1B=8b

1KB=1024B

1MB=1024KB

1GB=1024MB

Hardware business standards:

1GB=1000MB

1MB=1000KB

1KB=1000B
