First, according to modern standard, 1 kilobyte contains 1000 bytes.
1024 bytes is 1 kibibyte. But in some applications 1 kilobyte means 1024
bytes. I do not even want to mention applications in which 1 "megabyte"
is equal to 1000*1024 bytes. It all leads to confusion.

Second, why use bytes units? Not every integer value measures the amount
of memory. If you multiply 2 bytes by 3 bytes, do you get 6 square
bytes? If you divide 60 by 5 bytes, do you get 12 reversed bytes?
