man ls

The Long Format
In addition, for each directory whose contents are displayed, the total
number of 512-byte blocks used by the files in the directoryry whose
contents are displayed...
...
man df

Values are displayed in 512-byte per block block counts.

     -k      Use 1024-byte (1-Kbyte) blocks rather than the default.
Note that this overrides the BLOCKSIZE specification from the
environment.
...

How big is a 512-byte block? I mean, how much block for a K, a Meg,
etc..
Tank you
