to 1024 (2¹⁰).
* mega (M) (as a prefix to units of semiconductor storage capacity): A multiplier equal to (2²⁰ or K², where K = 1024).
* giga (G) (as a prefix to units of semiconductor storage capacity): A multiplier equal to (2³⁰ or K³, where K = 1024).

It refers to the IEEE/ASTM SI 10-1997 standard as stating that "this practice frequently leads to confusion and is deprecated". The document further refers to the description of the IEC binary prefixes
