------------------------
1 kilobyte = 1024 bytes
Multiply both sides by n and you get:
n kilobytes = 1024n bytes

An example would be easier to see:
Say you have a new memory chip and it has 8192 bytes
then, the number of kilobytes would be
8192/1024 = 8 kilobytes
.
So, let's say
n = number of bytes in your computer chip
then
n/1024 is the number of kilobytes
