Converting the other way: bytes to kilobytes

kilobytes = bytes × 0.001. So 120,000 bytes is back to 120 kilobytes; one byte is 0.001 kilobytes. See the bytes to kilobytes table.

Quick estimate in your head

For a rough answer, multiply by about 1000: 120 × 1000 ≈ 120,000 b, against the exact 120,000 b (0.0% 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 kilobyte is bigger than a byte, so the number of bytes must come out larger than the number of kilobytes. If your answer goes the other way, divide instead of multiplying.
