105K

105K is a designation formed by the digits "105" followed by the letter "K." In many contexts, K denotes a multiplier of one thousand, so 105K commonly represents 105,000. The exact meaning depends on context, and 105K can refer to quantities in finance, statistics, or everyday measurements rather than a single concept.

In scientific usage, K stands for kelvin, the absolute temperature unit. 105 K is 105 kelvin, which equals −168.15 °C (−270.67 °F). This temperature is well below freezing and is relevant in cryogenics and space-related research.

In computing and data storage, K may indicate kilobytes. 105K typically means about 105,000 bytes (decimal). Using the binary convention, 1 KiB = 1024 bytes, so 105,000 bytes ≈ 102.5 KiB. Because different standards exist, software may report 105K as loosely about 105 KB.

Other uses include model or product designations, inventory codes, or shorthand in budgets and statistics. Without context, 105K is ambiguous and does not denote a single universally defined quantity.
