how to convert bytes into kb in java

Question

Here I am getting file size in bytes format in

org.springframework.web.multipart.MultipartFile.getSize();

but I want to convert this to kb format, how can I convert bytes into kb's in java.

Answer 1

1 Kilobyte = 1000 bytes
1 Kibibyte = 1024 bytes

long bytes = org.springframework.web.multipart.MultipartFile.getSize();
long kilobytes = bytes / 1000;
long kibibytes = bytes / 1024;

Kilobyte in Wikipedia

Answer 2

In Java, and any other language, divide by 1024 to get kb.
