13 kilobytes is 13,000 bytes, not 13,312 bytes.

1 kB = 1024 bytes, not 1000.

13*1024 = 13,312.

1 kB = 1000 bytes.

You're thinking of the "kibibyte": 1 KiB, 1024 bytes. [0]

> The interpretation of the older term "kilobyte" to denote 1024 bytes, conflicting with the SI definition of the prefix kilo (1000), is still common.

You can argue about how wrong it is all you want, but 1kb will always be 1024 bytes to me.
