    Which command rounds better file sizes?

    Which command rounds better the file size?

    Code:
    me@mypc:~$ ls -l /tmp/Screenshot-Zimbra.jpg 
-rw-r--r-- 1 me me 173417 2011-01-13 13:49 /tmp/Screenshot-Zimbra.jpg

me@mypc:~$ ls -lh /tmp/Screenshot-Zimbra.jpg 
-rw-r--r-- 1 me me 170K 2011-01-13 13:49 /tmp/Screenshot-Zimbra.jpg

me@mypc:~$ ls -lk /tmp/Screenshot-Zimbra.jpg 
-rw-r--r-- 1 me me 170 2011-01-13 13:49 /tmp/Screenshot-Zimbra.jpg


me@mypc:~$ du -b /tmp/Screenshot-Zimbra.jpg 
173417    /tmp/Screenshot-Zimbra.jpg

me@mypc:~$ du -h /tmp/Screenshot-Zimbra.jpg 
172K    /tmp/Screenshot-Zimbra.jpg

me@mypc:~$ du -k /tmp/Screenshot-Zimbra.jpg 
172    /tmp/Screenshot-Zimbra.jpg
    What is the reason for the difference?
    Does ls show the apparent size?
