1 MB is 1024K
1 GB is 1024000K or 1024 MB
1 TB is 1024000000K or 1024 GB

That 24 extra K is important as it really adds up. When purchasing a hard drive it really doesn't matter as the OS will take care of it for you but don't get upset when the OS reports a size that is not quite what you thought you were buying.
