I didn't understand what 39k means. Money? I realized it was about bytes when I clicked to read the article.
Note that despite the always more common use, KB is not a thing. The correct unit is kB. Kilo is a lower case k. An upper case K is Kelvin. KB, Kelvin Bytes, does not exist.
See the list of prefixes on the site of the Bureau international des poids et mesures (English) https://www.bipm.org/en/measurement-units/si-prefixes
I'm a 1024 kind of guy, so I should have used KiB. I like your attention to detail.
Yeah, I also always think in multiples of 2 when there are bits and bytes into play.
