Here&#8217;s how you do it in both systems:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Decimal System (Base 10)<\/strong> &#8211; This system is commonly used in general computing and storage (like hard disk storage).To convert Bytes to Kilobytes in the decimal system, divide the number of bytes by 1000, because there are 1000 bytes in a kilobyte in this system.<br><br>For example, if you have 5000 bytes and you want to convert this to kilobytes:5000 Bytes \u00f7 1000 = 5 KB<br><br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Binary System (Base 2)<\/strong> &#8211; This system is often used in programming and memory (like RAM).To convert Bytes to Kilobytes in the binary system, divide the number of bytes by 1024, because there are 1024 bytes in a kilobyte in this system.<br><br>For example, if you have 5000 bytes and you want to convert this to kilobytes:5000 Bytes \u00f7 1024 \u2248 4.88 KB<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>In most cases, the decimal system is used, but it&#8217;s always good to know which system is being used in your particular situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bytes to KB Conversion
