Quick estimate in your head

For a rough answer, multiply by about 1000: 12 × 1000 ≈ 12,000 b, against the exact 12,288 b (2.3% out). Good enough to check that a calculated result is sensible.

Common mistakes

The usual slip is using the factor the wrong way round. A kibibyte is bigger than a byte, so the number of bytes must come out larger than the number of kibibytes. If your answer goes the other way, divide instead of multiplying.
