Detailed explanation-1: -Remember: Computers can only work with binary code. However computers do like the number 1024 because its binary code is 10000000000. That’s why there are 1024 Bytes in a KB, 1024 KB in a MB and so on…
Detailed explanation-2: -Originally, a byte was considered a collection of 8 bits, the smallest number of bits that were able to express a number, letter or character within binary. A kilobyte is approximately 1, 000 bytes (specifically, 2 to the 10th power or, in decimal form, 1, 024 bytes).
Detailed explanation-3: -Gigabyte (GB): There are 1024MB in one gigabyte. Hard drive manufacturers have long eschewed this system in favour of rounding down to make things easier (and also provide less storage space). This means that 1000 bytes = 1 kilobyte and 1000 kilobytes = 1MB.
