C Program to Convert Kilobytes to Bytes

In this post, we will learn how to convert kilobytes to bytes using C Programming language.

A Kilobyte also known as KB is a multiple unit used for measurement of binary data. A kilobyte is approximately 1,000 bytes(1024 bytes).

1 Kilobyte = 1024 Bytes

We will be using the above measurement data to convert kilobytes to bytes in our program.

So, without further ado, let’s begin this tutorial.

C Program to Convert Kilobytes to Bytes

// C Program to Convert Kilobytes to Bytes
#include <stdio.h>
int main(){
    int bytes;
    double kilobytes;
    
    // Asking for input
    printf("Enter the no. of kilobytes: ");
    scanf("%lf", &kilobytes);
    
    // Conversion kilobytes to bytes
    bytes = kilobytes * 1024;
    
    // Displaying output
    printf("%.2lf Kilobytes = %d Bytes", kilobytes, bytes);
    return 0;
}

Output

Enter the no. of kilobytes: 4
4.00 Kilobytes = 4096 Bytes

How Does This Program Work ?

    int bytes;
    double kilobytes;

In this program, we have declared one int data type and one double data type variable which will store the values of bytes and kilobytes respectively.

    // Asking for input
    printf("Enter the no. of kilobytes: ");
    scanf("%lf", &kilobytes);

Then, the user is asked to enter the value of kilobytes.

    // Conversion kilobytes to bytes
    bytes = kilobytes * 1024;

We convert kilobytes into bytes by multiplying it by 1024.

    // Displaying output
    printf("%.2lf Kilobytes = %d Bytes", kilobytes, bytes);

Finally, the result is printed using the printf() function. Here we have used %.2lf format specifier because we want to display the data only till 2 decimal places.

Conclusion

I hope after going through this post, you understand how to convert kilobytes to bytes using the C programming language.
