Since I see this mistake all the time and don't understand why people keep making it, I'll
explain.
1 Kilobyte is 1,000 bytes NOT 1,024 Bytes
Instead, 1,024 Bytes can be translated to 1 Kibibyte.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mebibyte
There's no reason to be dividing by 1024 when calculating sizes since hard drive manufacturers
don't use that method, instead they use 1000 bytes per Kilobyte.
