A byte is the amount of computer memory space needed to store one character, which is typically 8 bits. A computer with 8-bit bytes can distinguish 2^8 = 256 different characters. The size of a computer's memory is measured in kilobytes, where 1 kilobyte (KB) = 1024 bytes.
A kilobyte (KB) is a unit of digital information storage, commonly used to describe the size of files, memory capacity, and other data storage elements. One kilobyte equals 1,024 bytes in most contexts.
