DB2 tablespace storage

Hi i am new to the DB2 world and i am trying to figure out how DB2 stores data in containers/tablespaces
in all the forums / documnetation from IBM i have read for a 4k pagesize
the maximum capacity for a DMS storage is 64 G


also its mentioned that each tablespace can have a maximum of 16,384 pages
so when i do the calculation i get this
16,384 * 4 = 65536 KB of data which is = 0.0625 GB
as per math 0.0625GB should be the max capactiy of the DMS tablespace and not 64 GB
however
16,384*4*1024 = 67108864 Bytes
and 67108864KB = 64 G(this works for 4k,8k,16k and 32k tablespaces also)
i am not sure whats happening here and am really confused am i missing a factor of 1024 somewhere
all help is really appreciated
Thanks
KK
