Not sure what you mean here.

Nautilus 2.2.3.1 (most recent stable release) displays file size as
follows: "69.6 K" for a file size expressed in kilobytes, and "1.3 MB"
for a file size above 1 megabyte. Can you elaborate on your question,
including the Nautilus version to which it applies? Thanks.

Traditionnaly, 1 kilobyte (KB) = 1024 bytes.

But since 1999, IEC propose that :
1 kB (kilobyte) = 1000 bytes
1 MB (megabyte) = 1000 kB (kilobyte) = 1000000 bytes
...
and :
1 KiB (kibibyte) = 1024 bytes
1 MiB (mebibyte) = 1024 KiB (kibibyte) = 1048576 bytes
...

Maybe Nautilus should start displaying file size with the new 
prefixes.

I use Nautilus 2.2.1 in Mandrake 9.1.

Thanks for the explanation.

Given that this linguistic form "has not gained widespread use"[1], I
would argue against its use in Nautilus. The terminology used in the
GNOME Documentation Style Guide aims to find terms that are the most
widely used for use in, and description of, the interface.

OK, too few use.
Maybe in 2-3 years then.
From now, for you, how may bytes in one kilobyte ?  ;-)
Bye.

Uh, "roughly a thousand"?

Closing. Remind us again in a couple of years.
