It looks as if your file was the result of something like

Code:
du -sh $SomeDir

or
Code:
du -sh *

If you have the control on how this file is produced, then you can use the k option instead of the h option so you can ensure that your result is always displayed in Kb rather than the h ('human') option that can display various units depending on the size of the checked directory.
