Prefix used with the metric system that stands for 1,000. A kilo- is either 2 to the 10th power or 10 to the 3rd power. For example, a kilohert is 1,000 hertz.
- A '1,000" (10 to the 3rd power) kilo- is properly represented as a lower case k.
- A '1,024' (2 to the 10th power) kilo- is properly represented as an upper case K. This value should now be referred to as a kibi or Ki to help prevent confusion.
