Bytes per kilobyte
1024 is two to the tenth power (2¹⁰), a number with special significance in computing because binary systems make powers of two natural units.
A kilobyte was traditionally 1024 bytes rather than an even thousand, though this has become contentious as storage grew.
The number appears constantly in technical specifications: The image is 1024 by 768 pixels.
