0.023 - * 1024 [top]

File systems usually allocate space in "chunks" (called blocks or clusters). If a file system uses 1-byte blocks, the file is 23.552 bytes. However, most modern systems allocate in larger chunks (like 4KB blocks). Even though the math says 23.552 bytes, on a disk, a file of this size might actually take up 4096 bytes (4KB) of space because that is the smallest "bucket" available.

Often used by hardware manufacturers to label drive sizes (e.g., 0.023 * 1024
