1,000. It's based on prefixes. Giga- means 1 billion, so there are 1,000,000,000 bytes in a gigabyte. Mega- means 1 million, so there 1,000,000 bytes in a megabyte. 1,000,000,000 / 1,000,000 is 1,000. I added the explanation just so I had an excuse to type out all the numbers.

64 kilobytes worth of memory is equivalent to 25,636 bytes.

That's in Decimal form. layze's talking about Binary form, in which case 1024 megabytes are in a gigabyte.

Can you even measure bytes in decimal? I'm pretty sure you have to use binary.

You're right. I/Maka was thinking of bits.

You're right! I always get those confused.
Or maybe I just love prefixes.
