How many kilobytes are in 1 KB based on the binary system?

In the context of the binary system, one kilobyte (KB) is defined as 1024 bytes. To understand the relationship between bytes and bits, it's important to note that one byte equals 8 bits. Thus, to convert kilobytes to bits, the calculation is as follows:

1 KB = 1024 bytes

1024 bytes = 1024 x 8 bits

= 8192 bits

However, the question specifically asks how many bits are in 1 KB, and the correct answer related to the multiple-choice options provided aligns with the representation of 1 KB in terms of bits rather than bytes.

If you consider the choices in terms of bits only, while none of the options directly reflect the calculation of 8192 bits derived from 1 KB, the choice that most closely represents a framework of binary data representation (though miscalculated in context) can lead to a misunderstanding.

Thus, the correct context involves understanding that 1 KB in the binary system is typically considered to be 1024 bytes, but the specific direction of how these choices angle towards bits need a consideration of conversions. The choice of 1024 bits as a unit representation fails to accurately capture the byte to bit conversion
