solve the given problems. Refer to Appendix B for units of measurement and their symbols. The memory of a certain computer has $a$ bits in each byte. Express the number $N$ of bits in $n$ kilobytes in an equation. (A bit is a single digit, and bits are grouped in bytes in order to represent special characters. Generally, there are 8 bits per byte. If necessary,see Appendix B for the meaning of kilo.)
