Calculon isn't ISO conformant! Calculon isn't ISO conformant!
Ding-dong! Burn the traitor!

Ahem.

1 Kilobyte = 1000 Bytes (10^3)
1 Kibibyte = 1024 Bytes (2^10)
1 Megabyte = 1000000 Bytes (10^6)
1 Mebibyte = 1048576 Bytes (2^20)
1 Gigabyte = 1000000000 Bytes (10^9)
1 Gibibyte = 1073741824 Bytes (2^30)

It's quite simple. You take the initial syllable of the base10 prefix and replace the second syllable by "bi". Then you add "byte".

ISO/IEC 18025 EDCS lists all the official prefixes (defined as IEC 60027-2:2000).
